All tutorials I could find are either outdated or skip over installation, and the https://github.com/faiface/pixel/wiki/Building-Pixel-on-Windows github page is not detailed at all.

Create ui button for game (faiface/pixel)
Hi! I'm making a game using faiface/pixel. It's a very cool lib, but I can't find any examples for creating a menu button (as in the screenshot). I have read all the documentation and haven't found an answer to the questions below:
- Library for game dev

Could Golang ever be used in the meat-and-potatoes of video game development?
I don't see why it can't be used in video game development in fact, there are already a few games made in go like Bear's Restaurant though most of them seem to be 2D games That is also a few game engines/frameworks/library made in go like G3N, Ebiten, pixel and go-gl I have seen a few Youtube Videos where people make games in go like Gaming in Go Making an MMO I think what is Missing is gaming engines with a GUI like unity, unreal and Godot but nothing stopping someone from making one other than the massive time/money investment it takes

Can I get a quick code review of my simple start to a Go based RogueLike?
I have played around with the Python TCOD tutorial before this, but the library I'm using (Pixel) is very different. I think it's more similar to PyGame.

Audio library that can play as many file formats as possible?
https://github.com/faiface/beep is handy and I've used it for a player. You could extend further to add support for decoding other file types it didn't do (it currentlu does MP3, WAV , FLAC, OGG)
