Raylib FFI

Direct FFI bindings for calling raylib from Rust code

Any time someone new to game and graphics programming asks me how to get started, I point them to raylib. It’s a simple, yet powerful, game development library that is perfect for beginners and experts alike.

raylib-ffi is a raw binding from Rust to raylib. The library is 100% unsafe code, and thats the point!

I wanted to build a bindings library that can always track the very latest version of raylib without worrying about hand-wrapping every function into a safe Rust equivalent. This raw library is designed to be built on top of by other libraries that want to provide a safe interface to raylib through my wrapper.

The magic

Raylib helpfully exposes a function signatures list for binding authors to reference. My library automatically reads this file and generates Rust code from it on the fly at built time. This means that any version update is a simple git submodule update && cargo publish away.
