raylib-chaiscript

ChaiScript bindings for raylib, a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming (www.raylib.com)

Example

The following is an example of what raylib looks like through ChaiScript:

var screenWidth = 800
var screenHeight = 450
InitWindow(screenWidth, screenHeight, "raylib [core] example - basic window")
SetTargetFPS(60)

while (!WindowShouldClose()) {
    BeginDrawing();
    ClearBackground(RAYWHITE)
    DrawText("Congrats! You created your first window!", 190, 200, 20, LIGHTGRAY)
    EndDrawing()
}
CloseWindow()        // Close window and OpenGL context

Usage

There are a number of ways to use raylib-chaiscript. The following covers its API binding, and a launcher tool...

CLI

There is a command-line interface tool to quickly launch .chai files with raylib, named raylib-chaiscript. This allows running .chai scripts directly from the command line, or just with drag & drop of .chai files into raylib-chaiscript.exe:

./raylib-chaiscript core_basic_window.chai

It can be compiled for other platforms, just need to include ChaiScript and link raylib. For more details, just check comments on raylib-chaiscript.cpp.

API Binding

To integrate raylib-chaiscript directly into an existing project, the single header-only file, raylib.hpp, is used. To add the raylib bindings to your project you will need to...

1. Include the file in your project:

   #include "chaiscript/extras/raylib.hpp"

2. Add the module to your ChaiScript instance:

   auto raylib = chaiscript::extras::raylib::bootstrap();
   chai.add(raylib);

3. Evaluate a file with some raylib code:

   chai.eval_file("core_basic_window.chai");
