Raylib and SmallBASIC....

[luwal]

Do you remember this interesting disucssion?
https://www.naalaa.com/forum/thread-168.html

From this page:
https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/m...INDINGS.md

SmallBASIC 5.5
FreeBASIC 5.0
BlitzMax  3.0
PureBasic: 3.0

The latest version of Raylib is 5.5. Only SmallBASIC supports this version. Actually, SmallBASIC looks mature: https://smallbasic.github.io/pages/plugins_raylib.html

If you want to try to use Raylib with a BASIC dialect, SmallBASIC may be a good choice.

Yes, try to use the sophisticated game library Raylib and don't forget to tell us how powerful and versatile it is! Yes, let us know!

powerfull maybe but i just googled world wide hit games
and what they use ...guess ...DirectX is still number ONE in PC games.

In Indie games maybe as in mentioned BASIC-s

Ok...I see. Thanks for your information.

heh ..this is just FAKE hype like so many other things in programming.
big hype is for example about Python ..this and that
yes it is used ..but where ..only as GLUE language and mostly on Linux
on Windows are C/C++ the lords
rayLib is just a wrapper for openGL like so many other openGL libs
and so on ..and on ...probably i can fill whole page with FAKE stuff.

I have never used rayLib... are there any benefits to using it? Ok. Maybe a list of Pros and Cons? Just curious.

This article can tell you. Sure: "Raylib and it’s Why - The choice I made over Unity and Unreal, and Why?"

But a lot of people are using it. For example, all these game projects on Itch:
