raylib-go VS Pixel

Raylib is awesome! It reminds me of the old school days of using BlitzBASIC to get things drawn on screen because it's easy and so much fun. This is how programming used to be, no fuss, just easy to use libraries.

I currently use Raylib with Go and the Go bindings[1] to create screensavers for Linux and I'm really happy with the results.

I even use it at work to draw interactive infrastructure diagrams that animate dependencies, allow controlling start-up etc. It's really flexible and simpler than anything else I've found to get stuff on-screen. I love it!

If games/graphics interests you then this is a cool project and help is needed porting examples to Go. Raylib Go - basically it is a game development framework for Go. There are a whole lot of examples that haven't been added to the Github page here https://github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go/tree/master/examples

Well, I haven't used Ebiten much so can't compare however Raylib is super easy to use for both 2D and 3D (as far as I know Ebiten is mainly 2D) and there is a large community as there are Raylib bindings for a lot of languages. The Go bindings are here https://github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go and the Raylib website is here https://www.raylib.com/

However if you can code with Go already then something like Raylib https://github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go

You can do 3D with Go and Raylib quite easily, without a lot of math, not sure you can build a 3D rendering engine with it though https://github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go

Unfortunately the biggest problem with Raylib for other languages like Go is just what you are talking about, there is minimal documentation. What I did to learn is to go through the examples on Github here https://github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go/tree/master/examples

Not sure exactly what you want to do however Raylib offers some image manipulation and is easy to use https://github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go

All tutorials I could find are either outdated or skip over installation, and the https://github.com/faiface/pixel/wiki/Building-Pixel-on-Windows github page is not detailed at all.

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:

From what I've seen, Ebitengine seems to be the most popular choice among hobby and professional game devs, but there are other frameworks as well like oakmound/oak and faiface/pixel that continue to be maintained on Github to this day.

faiface/pixel: A hand-crafted 2D game library in Go

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

For learning Go, A Tour of Go, and tutorials from libraries I used (Pixel and Beep), as well as a lot of Googleing.

Btw, for game engines/libraries in Go, feel free to check out Ebiten, or my Pixel.

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.
