raylib is a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.
raylib is heavily inspired by Borland BGI graphics lib and by XNA framework.
raylib could be useful for prototyping, tools development, graphic 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. Are you ready to learn? Jump to code examples!
