**raylib is a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.**
raylib is highly inspired by Borland BGI graphics lib and by XNA framework and it's specially well suited for prototyping, tooling, graphical 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.*

- Bindings to [+25 programming languages](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/BINDINGS.md)!
raylib uses on its [core](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/src/core.c) module the outstanding [GLFW3](http://www.glfw.org/) library, embedded in the form of [rglfw](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/src/rglfw.c) module, to avoid external dependencies.
raylib uses on its [raudio](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/src/raudio.c) module, the amazing [miniaudio](https://github.com/dr-soft/miniaudio) library to support multiple platforms and multiple audio backends.
raylib uses internally multiple single-file header-only libraries to support different fileformats loading and saving, all those libraries are embedded with raylib and available in [src/external](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/tree/master/src/external) directory. Check [raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki/raylib-dependencies) for a detailed list.
*On Android platform, `native_app_glue module` module (provided by Android NDK) and native Android libraries are used to manage window/context, inputs and activity life cycle.*
*On Raspberry Pi platform (native mode), `Videocore API` and `EGL` libraries are used for window/context management. Inputs are processed using `evdev` Linux libraries*
build and installation
----------------------
Binary releases for Windows, Linux and macOS are available at the [Github Releases page](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/releases). raylib is also available via multiple package managers on multiple OS distributions. Check [raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki) for more info.
If you wish to build raylib yourself, [the raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki) also contains detailed instructions on how to approach that.
raylib has been developed using two tools:
* Notepad++ (text editor) - [http://notepad-plus-plus.org](http://notepad-plus-plus.org/)
* MinGW (GCC compiler) - [http://www.mingw.org](http://www.mingw.org/)
Those are the tools recommended to enjoy raylib development.
