Tyro

Runing embed programming language in simple graphical environment, for kids and newbies, using raylib as small game engine to draw. Now I am working on adding Lua, in the future I want to add more simple progamming lanuguages like Basic. It also should have editing tool inside that environment, console output and input, work in same graphical window. playing sound using mmf code.

It is More simulating old computer, but with modern languages and graphic.

Lua Example

    canvas.text(10, 30, 'Printing text test')
    i = 1000000
    canvas.color = colors.black
    canvas.line(0, 100, canvas.width, 100)

    while i > 0 do
        c = math.random(3, colors.count)
        canvas.color = colors[c]
        r = math.random(5, 20) --size of circle
        x = math.random(640)
        y = math.random(480)
        canvas.circle(x, y, r, true)
        r = math.random(5, 20) --size of circle
        x = math.random(640)
        y = math.random(480)
        canvas.rectangle(x, y, r, r, true)
        sleep(10)
        i = i - 1
    end

Issues

There is problem in raylib, in fact in OpenGL that cannot/not easy share texture between threads, we need another trick to pass drawing commands to main thread, but now i am sending objects to draw it in main thread, it is work fine until now

Compile

Use FreePascal 3.x or Lazarus with it

Libraries

You need only MiniLib package minilib.lpk minilib

Dependencies

raylib for raylib.dll/so put it in same of tyro exe folder

Lua for lua dll 5.3 in same of tyro exe folder

Ported

You do not need to use it, it is already in the source folder
