Requirements

  • OpenAL Soft NOTE: if you don't need audio you can use -tags noaudio during build, OpenAL will not be linked to binary, though none of the audio functions will be available.

  • GLFW is included as part of the Go package, but you need to make sure you have dependencies installed, see below.

Ubuntu
apt-get install libopenal-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxi-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxrandr-dev
Fedora
dnf install openal-soft-devel mesa-libGL-devel libXi-devel libXcursor-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel
OS X

On OS X system OpenAL framework is used, you need Xcode or Command Line Tools for Xcode.

Windows (MSYS2)
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-openal mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-go git

On Windows, build binary in MSYS2 shell.

Android

Android example.

Raspberry Pi

RPi example.

Installation

go get -v -u github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go/raylib

Build tags

  • noaudio - disables audio functions and doesn't link against OpenAL libraries
  • opengl21 - uses OpenGL 2.1 backend (default is 3.3 on desktop)
  • opengl11 - uses OpenGL 1.1 backend (pseudo OpenGL 1.1 style)
  • wayland - builds against Wayland libraries
  • static - links against OpenAL static libraries

Documentation

Documentation on GoDoc. Also check raylib cheatsheet.

Example

package main

import "github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go/raylib"

func main() {
	raylib.InitWindow(800, 450, "raylib [core] example - basic window")

	raylib.SetTargetFPS(60)

	for !raylib.WindowShouldClose() {
		raylib.BeginDrawing()

		raylib.ClearBackground(raylib.RayWhite)

		raylib.DrawText("Congrats! You created your first window!", 190, 200, 20, raylib.LightGray)

		raylib.EndDrawing()
	}

	raylib.CloseWindow()
}
