  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

  Go bindings for raylib, a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.

I wrote a small game in Go https://nicholasimon.itch.io/snyk uses Raylib for graphics https://github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go. Very simple however it definitely is possible. Problem is there is minimal support for game development in Go compared to other languages makes it a bit more difficult
