**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.*

raylib uses on its [core](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/src/core.c) module the outstanding [GLFW3](http://www.glfw.org/) library, embedded in the form of [rglfw](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/src/rglfw.c) module, to avoid external dependencies.
|
|
|
|
raylib uses on its [raudio](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/src/raudio.c) module, the amazing [miniaudio](https://github.com/dr-soft/miniaudio) library to support multiple platforms and multiple audio backends.
|
|
|
|
raylib uses internally several single-file header-only libraries to support different fileformats loading and saving, all those libraries are embedded with raylib and available in [src/external](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/tree/master/src/external) directory. Check [raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki/raylib-dependencies) for a detailed list.
|
|
|
|
*On Android platform, `native_app_glue` 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*
|
|
|
|
*On Web platform, raylib uses `emscripten` provided libraries for several input events management, specially noticeable the touch events support.*
