Can recommend Odin[0] if you want to play with Raylib. Great for prototyping, although I'm not sure if it will last further on in development. Still have to figure that one out.

Man, am I so excited. raylib is how I managed to actually.. start getting proper fun out of programming, and finally get some projects that could be considered complete, as small as they were.

The remaining issue I have with Raylib is that the library has no concept of a Text object, so for text-heavy scenes (lots of combat damage texts in fast paced games, lots of UI elements), the library spends most of the time recalculating font glyph stuff when drawing text.

This is awesome. I don't do any graphics programming and don't really have any Raylib experience (or keep up with the projects developments) but it inspired me to begin learning C this past few months. I started building my own zero dependency software renderer (all it can do is color the background and render a spinning 2d rectangle). I'm really excited to dig into the rlsw source code later today.

The new software renderer looks very cool. Will have to give this a spin on an ESP32S3

I tried raylib and I love it, but I need to build a lot from scratch (like most game frameworks). But I also really dislike engines as I prefer making games with code rather than a GUI. I am currently working on a framework/engine hybrid called vectarine [1] where I make my game with code while still enjoying niceties of an engine like hot reloading, integrated debugging, asset management etc.

I worked on a game in Golang+Raylib and had loads of fun. It strikes a perfect balance for people like me, that don't want to use a game engine, but also don't want to build one completely from scratch. It leaves many things to the developer, but takes care of most of the boring stuff (especially things that are platform specific). Can highly recommend.

I'm currently building my roguelike in swift using c-interop with raylib - this brings me so much joy
