I asked Microsoft's Copilot a question about NaaLaa and Raylib!

My question: if NaaLaa can be used with Raylib together, will a lot of non-users decide to use NaaLaa?

Copilot's answer:

If NaaLaa were to support Raylib, it could definitely attract more developers—especially those who enjoy retro-style game development but also want modern, hardware-accelerated graphics. Raylib’s simplicity, cross-platform compatibility, and ease of use make it a popular choice among indie developers, and integrating it with NaaLaa could help bridge the gap between classic BASIC-like simplicity and modern game development features.
Potential benefits of a NaaLaa-Raylib integration:

• Expanded graphics capabilities – Raylib offers OpenGL-based rendering, which could improve performance compared to NaaLaa’s current software rendering approach.
  
• Broader developer interest – More developers familiar with Raylib might be willing to explore NaaLaa for its intuitive syntax and ease of game development.
  
• Better community support – Increased adoption could lead to more tutorials, shared projects, and an active developer community.
  
• Attraction for retro developers – Those nostalgic for BASIC-like programming might embrace the combination if it provides enhanced graphical features.
  

However, the success of such an integration depends on ease of implementation, documentation availability, and community engagement. If it were seamless and well-supported, it could definitely increase interest in NaaLaa among non-users looking for an accessible yet powerful game development option.

Very interesting... All of the above benefits could be possible... The first word of Copilots answer? "If"... Certainly sounds possible assuming N7 can support Raylib.

I have total confidence in NaaLaa 7 as well.
