   Raylib, a hidden Powerhouse

   I got to know Raylib just a few days ago taking a course on learning C++ to start using Unreal Engine. I have a background with assembler(a long time ago), Python/Pygame, C#/Monogame, and Unity/C#. Within the few days I used it, I am simply blown away by the simplicity but yet extremely powerful Raylib library. The routines and functions are very clear and access is very simple. Everything is well documented. I am yet to go in-depth with the library but I never had such an experience in the past building games, which is my main interest. If you stumbled upon this by chance stop and give it a go. You'll never regret it. Right now I am thinking of the many ways I can use this with the languages I know.

   🏁 Competitors: MonoGame, Pygame

• Unity's Trap

  [HaxeFlixel](https://haxeflixel.com/) and [Defold](https://defold.com/) come to mind as lighter 2D-focused frameworks with web export options and published games. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: Best stack to make a 2D game in 2023

  I've personally had a very good experience with Haxe and Haxeflixel (https://haxeflixel.com/) although Heaps (https://heaps.io/) seems to be more popular nowadays. Haxe is very nice as a language, can easily cross-compile to a lot of targets, Haxeflixel is heavily inspired by some Actionscript framework and has a lot of goodies. Maybe Heaps is more mature, up to date and allows for more advanced features. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Game engine for programmars

  Older, maybe still fun to use Home | HaxeFlixel 2D Game Engine. Source: about 2 years ago

• My mod RPG Overhaul is on hold! Please read this until the end

  So I decided to put it in my "things to do" list and start more simple on modding, like a simple full week mod or something. I started to learn C#) as I wanna develop games with Unity, and learning C# would also get more familiar with OOP and High-Level Programming Languages so then I can go back to Haxe (the language HaxeFlixel is built to work with) and understand it better.

• Are there any game engines that support 3D that are more code orientated?

  It sounds like you're maybe asking for code frameworks/libraries instead of engines? Something like https://raylib.com/ might be better suited? Source: about 1 year ago

• How can I make graphics games using cpp?

  I would recommend SFML or Raylib, they're both excellent and fairly easy to set up, plus have really good documentation. And if you decide to really dig into them you'll eventually be able to create any game you want. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best C++ libraries for 2D game development

  I'd also recommend raylib as an option. Check out its website: http://raylib.com/. It is beginner friendly enough with good cheatsheet and examples. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Question about graphic/game libraries

  Finally, you can use raylib.com , a C library but it has a great interface and multiple examples. Howeve, it is not wide-spread like SDL. Source: over 2 years ago

• confused new dev

  The easiest option is C# and Unity, even though I think at some point (if you want to experience real programming) you'd better off using a framework. Source: almost 3 years ago
