**raylib is a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.** raylib is highly inspired by Borland BGI graphics lib and by XNA framework and it's specially well suited for prototyping, tooling, graphical applications, embedded systems and education. *NOTE for ADVENTURERS: raylib is a programming library to enjoy videogames programming; no fancy interface, no visual helpers, no auto-debugging... just coding in the most pure spartan-programmers way.* Ready to learn?

Check [raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki/raylib-dependencies) for a detailed list. *On Android platform, `native_app_glue module` module (provided by Android NDK) and native Android libraries are used to manage window/context, inputs and activity life cycle.* *On Raspberry Pi platform (native mode), `Videocore API` and `EGL` libraries are used for window/context management. Inputs are processed using `evdev` Linux libraries* build and installation ---------------------- Binary releases for Windows, Linux and macOS are available at the [Github Releases page](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/releases). raylib is also available via multiple package managers on multiple OS distributions. Check [raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki) for more info. If you wish to build raylib yourself, [the raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki) also contains detailed instructions on how to approach that. raylib has been developed using two tools: * Notepad++ (text editor) - [http://notepad-plus-plus.org](http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) * MinGW (GCC compiler) - [http://www.mingw.org](http://www.mingw.org/) Those are the tools recommended to enjoy raylib development. contact ------- * Webpage: [http://www.raylib.com](http://www.raylib.com) * Discord: [https://discord.gg/raylib](https://discord.gg/VkzNHUE) * Twitter: [http://www.twitter.com/raysan5](http://www.twitter.com/raysan5) * Facebook: [http://www.facebook.com/raylibgames](http://www.facebook.com/raylibgames) * Reddit: [https://www.reddit.com/r/raylib](https://www.reddit.com/r/raylib) * Twitch: [http://www.twitch.tv/raysan5](http://www.twitch.tv/raysan5) * Patreon: [https://www.patreon.com/raylib](https://www.patreon.com/raylib) * YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/channel/raylib](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8WIBkhYb5sBNqXO1mZ7WSQ) If you are using raylib and you enjoy it, please, join our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/VkzNHUE). license ------- raylib is licensed under an unmodified zlib/libpng license, which is an OSI-certified, BSD-like license that allows static linking with closed source software.
