raylib/ROADMAP.md

roadmap

Here it is a wish-list with features and ideas to improve the library. Note that features listed here are usually long term additions for the library. Current version of raylib is complete and functional but there is a lot of room for improvement.

Also note that raylib source code has multiple TODO comments around code with pending things to review or improve. Check also GitHub Issues for further details!

There is also a Discussions Wishlist open to everyone, feel free to check and comment.
