Raylib-cs

C# bindings for raylib 3.0, a simple and easy-to-use library to learn videogames programming (www.raylib.com)

Raylib-cs targets netstandard2.1 and supports netcoreapp3.0+ and net5.0.

Installation - NuGet

This is the prefered method to get started - The package is still new so please report any issues.

dotnet add package Raylib-cs --version 3.1.5

If you need to edit Raylib-cs source then you will need to add the bindings as a project (see below).

Installation - Manual

1. Download/Clone this repo

2. Add Raylib-cs/Raylib-cs.csproj to your project as an existing project.

3. Download the native libraries for the platforms you want to build for using the official 3.0 release.
   NOTE: the MSVC version is required for Windows platforms

4. (Recommended) Put the native library for each platform under Raylib-cs/runtimes/{platform}/native/
   (Optional) If you want to handle the native libraries yourself, make sure they are either in the same directory as the executable and/or can be found in the search path. See https://www.mono-project.com/docs/advanced/pinvoke/ for details.

5. Start coding!

using Raylib_cs;

namespace HelloWorld
{
    static class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            Raylib.InitWindow(800, 480, "Hello World");

            while (!Raylib.WindowShouldClose())
            {
                Raylib.BeginDrawing();
                Raylib.ClearBackground(Color.WHITE);

                Raylib.DrawText("Hello, world!", 12, 12, 20, Color.BLACK);

                Raylib.EndDrawing();
            }

            Raylib.CloseWindow();
        }
    }
}

Physac-cs and Raygui-cs

These are unfinished EXPERIMENTAL bindings to physac and raygui. Added as a test to Raylib-cs but caused confusion in project setup so they were moved into their own libraries.

Examples

The Examples for Raylib-cs were moved and can be found at Raylib-cs-Examples.

Tech notes

• Certain functions take a enum instead of a int such as IsKeyPressed.

• Colours moved into the Color struct as static members. RED changes to Color.RED.

• Uses string.Format instead of TextFormat.

• Adds constructors for some of the structs(WIP).

• Adds operator overloads for math structs.
