How does it work for C/C++? I looked around and it seems there are no official package managers. Raylib's official website points us to these examples but they're just a file, obviously just a file on a separate folder wouldn't work, would it? I've gone through these steps to compile raylib on my system, but how do I start a new project? Do I just run cmake on this file and it knows where raylib is and compiles the binary correctly?

Pygame
🐍🎮 pygame (the library) is a Free and Open Source python programming language library for making multimedia applications like games built on top of the excellent SDL library. C, Python, Native, OpenGL.

Since we wanted a common game simulation that would be on both the server and the client we looked into a few libraries that would fit our ECS needs. It was decided we were going to write this common part of our game in C++, but rust was considered. C++ was a familiar language for us so naturally EnTT and flecs came up right away. I had used EnTT before, writing some small demo projects, so our choice was made based on familiarity. In order to integrate with Unity we created a small C interface to communicate between our simulation code and Unity’s C#. Here’s close to what it looked like. I removed some parts for brevity sake.
