Raylib for LuaJIT

A really simple Raylib LuaJIT binding! (that will do the job for most cases).

Based on this gist

PROS:

• It works great in LuaJIT 2+
• Single file (except for the compiled raylib binaries)
• Works as an actual lib instead of a runner
• Everything is saved into a table
• Mostly everything should work properly.

CONS:

• You need the LuaJIT and Raylib compiled binaries/libraries
• Is my first binding ever (PLEASE LEAVE ME RECOMMENDATIONS)
• Experimental

Installation.

• Download the raylib.lua file and put it into your project
• Require it like this: "rl = require 'raylib'"
• Install Raylib (the library, not this binding)
• Run the code with LuaJIT and it should be working.

Recommendations/Notes:

• If you are on Windows, you can also add the "libraylib.dll" file into the project directly.
• Technically you can run this on puc lua, but it wont be as good as running it with luajit.
• Not tested on MacOS but it should work (...maybe)

Example:

To run the example;

• Clone the repo
• Install LuaJIT 2+ and Raylib 3 (if not installed)
• Run "example.lua" with LuaJIT 2+
• Admire the precious white window with the text inside
