Stuff being done here

• Everything is 100% generated, no manual wrappers, minimal amount of manual mappings (mostly just slight correction for array detection, C "arrays" are worst thing ever made)
• Natives are built for all platforms, using raylib zig build scripts

Stuff not being done here

• Enum to argument mappings - this is raylib design decision, if raylib maintainers decide to provide type info in headers I can parse it, but i dont want to hardcode it
• Array->Span mappings - there is no info if something is array or not in raylib C headers so detecting arrays is very volatile. I do some basic array detection at the moment so this might be possible eventually, but im undecided yet
• Manual wrappers - Everything manual is error prone and harder to maintain, the bindings are perfectly usable without them (partially thanks to LibraryImport being so nice to work with)
• Porting raylib examples - So much maintenance work for little benefit, the API is mostly the same so just look at C example

Included bindings

• Raylib
• Raymath
• Rlgl
• Raygui
• Rres

Supported platforms

• Windows x64/x86/arm64
• OSX x64/arm64
• Linux x64/x86/arm64
• Browser WASM (using NativeAOT-LLVM)

Use as dependency

Add source

Needs GitHub credentials.

dotnet nuget add source --name "raylib.net" --username "YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME" --password "YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN" --store-password-in-clear-text "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/deathbeam/index.json"

Use package

dotnet add package Raylib.NET --version '*-build.*'
dotnet add package Raylib.NET.Native --version '*-build.*'

Try the example

cd src/Raylib.NET.Example

# linux
dotnet publish -r linux-x64 -c Release
./bin/Release/net8.0/linux-x64/publish/Raylib.NET.Example

# windows
dotnet publish -r win-x64 -c Release
bin/Release/net8.0/win-x64/publish/Raylib.NET.Example.exe

# wasm (EMSDK required + wasm-tools, see below for EMSDK setup)
dotnet workload install wasm-tools
dotnet publish -r browser-wasm -c Release
emrun --port 8080 bin/Release/net8.0/browser-wasm/native/Raylib.NET.Example.html

Local development

Initializes submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Updates raylib submodules (if needed):

git submodule update --recursive --remote

Generate bindings, build natives for whatever os you are on etc:

dotnet build

Cross-compile with RID:

cd src/Raylib.NET.Native
dotnet build -r win-x64
dotnet build -r win-x86
dotnet build -r win-arm64
dotnet build -r osx-x64
dotnet build -r osx-arm64
dotnet build -r linux-x64
dotnet build -r linux-x86 # requires i386 libraries for dependencies (X11, etc)
dotnet build -r linux-arm64 # requires arm64 libraries for dependencies (X11, etc)
dotnet build -r browser-wasm # requires EMSDK

browser-wasm requires EMSDK:

git clone https://github.com/emscripten-core/emsdk
cd emsdk
./emsdk install latest
./emsdk activate latest
export EMSDK=$PWD
