# raylib-python-ctypes

A python wrapper for the greatest graphic library **[raylib](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib)**.

### Prerequisites

_raypyc_ uses type [annotations](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3107/#id30) in its source, so a Python version that
supports it is required.

### Installing

the fastest way to use raypyc is by using the pip install command:

```
pip install raypyc
```

```
python -m pip install raypyc
```

## Using raypyc

using raypyc is really simple, take a look at an example:

```python
"""

raylib [core] example - Basic Window

"""

from raypyc import *

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Program main entry point
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def main():
    # Initialization
    # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    SCREEN_WIDTH = 800
    SCREEN_HEIGHT = 450

init_window(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, b"raylib [core] example - basic window")

# TODO: Load resources / Initialize variables at this point

set_target_fps(60)  # Set our game to run at 60 frames-per-second
    # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Main game loop
    while not window_should_close():  # Detect window close button or ESC key
        # Update
        # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        # TODO: Update variables / Implement example logic at this point
        # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Draw
        # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        begin_drawing()

clear_background(RAYWHITE)
        draw_text(b"Congrats! You created your first window!", 190, 200, 20, LIGHTGRAY)

end_drawing()
        # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# De-Initialization
    # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# TODO: Unload all loaded resources at this point

close_window()  # Close window and OpenGL context
    # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Execute the main function
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

```

## _raylib_ vs _raypyc_

Below are the differences in usage between _raylib_ and _raypyc_.

### Enums

All C `typeof enum`s got translated to Python 'constants'. Enums got translated to
Python [enums](https://docs.python.org/3/library/enum.html).

### Structures

In general, all structures inherit from `ctypes.Structure` class. At the moment, all the structures have a setters &
getter

### Contributing

firstly, Contributions of any kind welcome!.

secondly, here are some of the things that contributing on will help this wrapper the most:

* porting examples from c to python(if you can, please follow along with
  the [conventions](https://github.com/sDos280/raylib-python-ctypes/blob/main/CONVENTIONS.md) when porting). ([
  C examples](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/tree/master/examples), [
  Python examples](https://github.com/sDos280/raylib-python-ctypes))
* fixing(refactoring) my [fileGeneration](https://github.com/sDos280/raylib-python-ctypes/blob/main/filesGeneration.py),
  so it will look neater...
* making the wrapper able to port to more operating systems
* wrapping more [_c_ raylib header](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/tree/master/src) to this library[^2]

[^2] NOTE: at least for now, all the non-functions wrapper stuff need be implemented in
the [filesGeneration.py](https://github.com/sDos280/raylib-python-ctypes/blob/main/filesGeneration.py) file, and all the
functions wrapper stuff need be implemented in the [raypyc/__
init__.py](https://github.com/sDos280/raylib-python-ctypes/blob/main/raypyc/__init__.py)

## thanks

thanks to [raysun5](https://github.com/raysan5), [pyraylib](https://github.com/Ho011/pyraylib)
and [pyray](https://github.com/sDos280/raylib-python-cffi) for their good work, I took all the inspiration (and some
code ;) ) from them, so thanks you guys very much.
also a big thanks for the people that helped to test and reviewing the library :)!!!

also a special thanks to [Peter0x44](https://github.com/Peter0x44), [Its-Kenta](https://github.com/Its-Kenta), [sol-vin](https://github.com/sol-vin), [pmp-p](https://github.com/pmp-p) and [stucotso](https://gist.github.com/stucotso).
