Installation

1. Follow the instructions on the native raylib wiki to install the native raylib library on your operating system.

2. Install the gem by executing: bundle add raylib or gem install raylib

Usage

Raylib can be used in two ways: namespaced or global.

Namespaced

The namespaced usage is recommended as it avoids global namespace pollution:

require 'raylib'

Raylib.init_window(800, 450, 'My window')

until Raylib.window_should_close
  Raylib.begin_drawing
  Raylib.clear_background(Raylib::RAYWHITE)
  Raylib.draw_text('Congrats! You created your first window!', 190, 200, 20, Raylib::LIGHTGRAY)
  Raylib.end_drawing
end

Raylib.close_window

Global

If you prefer to use Raylib globally, you can require the raylib/dsl:

require 'raylib/dsl'

init_window(800, 450, 'My window')

until window_should_close
  begin_drawing
  clear_background(RAYWHITE)
  draw_text('Congrats! You created your first window!', 190, 200, 20, LIGHTGRAY)
  end_drawing
end

In the code above, require 'raylib/dsl is a shorthand for require 'raylib' + include Raylib.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
