odin-raylib

Bindings for raylib, a small C gamedev library, for the odin programming language.

These are usable, but in a pre-alpha state and definitely a work in progress.

from Kevin Watters and Fausto Tommasi

Prerequisites

• Windows 10 (for now)
• Visual Studio 2017
• A command-line prompt opened with the "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017" shortcut
• odin on your PATH (built from odin's master branch is good)

Running the examples

examples/simple_demo

To run a simple demo:

odin run examples/simple_demo

You should see this:

examples/live_reload_demo

To run the live reload demo:

scripts\run_live_reload_demo

You should see the demo appear. It runs a background thread watching for changes in the source directory. When a change happens, it will rebuild the bin/game.dll file--which will then get automatically reloaded by the host process.

Try editing some of the values in examples/live_reload_demo/game.odin and saving the file to see the changes instantly.

examples/bunnymark

odin run examples/bunnymark

examples/physac

odin run examples/physac

Modules

Bindings for raygui and raymath are in an alpha state. See examples/gui and examples/example_raymath.

Bindings

To rebuild the bindings to raylib, make sure you have raylib checked out into the directory above raylib-odin, and run scripts\generate_raylib_bindings.bat.

TODO

• fix up bindgen code so that raylib.h doesn't need to be hand-tweaked
• make everything work on OSX and Linux

Acknowledgements

• Thanks to @TheElkantor for their article "How to add hot reload when using raylib" - for pointing out that passing function pointers to a plugin was probably the easiest way to get a live reload harness going.
