12 years ago, asking for raylib on official OpenGL forums

On this day, 12 years ago, I asked on official OpenGL forums for a simple and easy-to-use library to put graphics on screen.

I got no answer so I created #raylib.🚀

Source: community.khronos.org/t/graphics-h...

raylib selected for the NGI Zero Commons Fund

I'm thrilled to announce that #raylib has been selected for the #NGIZero Commons Fund program! 🚀

Many thanks to #NLnet and all the parties involved for this opportunity!

Funds will allow me to keep working on raylib and its open source ecosystem! Let's make amazing things! 😄

Wow! My raylib color palette, that I created 12 years ago and remained unchanged since then, has been published in Lospec! Amazing!!! ❤️

Hammers I found in my workshop, I'm restoring some of them

My father, grandfather and afaik all my ancestors were woodworkers, handcrafters, they worked with basic tools and created beautiful things. I did not follow the family tradition... but instead I enjoy handcrafting code.

Compiled some hammers I found in my workshop, I'm restoring some of them... ♥️

New feature for rKeyGen, my license-keys generator tool: **image-licenses**!!! 🤯

The image contains the encrypted license data (red pixels); it also exposes license info to detect pirated copies of the software; it also adds a QRCode for online validation when required! 😱

No plans at the moment but you can use rFxGen to generate sounds for games, you can even use rfxgen.h library, single-file header-only open-source, to generate samples at runtime

I'm afraid not this tool but you can use my other tool rInstallFriendly to create installers with chiptune music, it even supports MOD and XM files!

rKeyGen preview, a simple and easy-to-use keys generator for software licensing.

rTexPacker 5.0, testing sprites origin and collider edition

rTexPacker 5.0, testing font atlas generation, forcing glyph sprites height and magenta background fill!

rTexPacker 5.0 is almost ready! 🚀

Testing sprites origin + collider edition and font atlas generation! All working as expected! 😄

Release in the following days... hopefully...

Just added a new feature to the upcoming **rTexPacker 5.0**! 🚀

Today I added a custom sprites-list-view, created from scratch, supporting sprite image, name and even multi-selection! 🤯

I enjoy too much adding new features... I should be shipping it now... any feature missing? 😛

Latest feature added to **rTexPacker 5.0**: Sprite colliders edition! 🚀

Now the hard part, UI/UX iteration for a comfortable usage of the feature! 😄

UI style in the video: Lavanda, calm and peaceful. But there are +12 UI styles available to choose!

Glad you liked it! 👍😄

Hey! **rTexPacker 5.0** is almost ready! 🔥

Look at those 2 new features: 🚀
1) Sprite Tags
2) Sprite Slicing

Implementing the slicing on multiple selected sprites took me longer than expected! It could be tricky when using a selection-indices-array!

Feedback is welcome! 😄

For raylib I maintain a multiplatform Makefile and a VS2022 solution. CMake/build.zig/others were added and maintained by the community.
I also maintain GitHub Actions, that use Makefile/VS2022.

rGuiStyler 6.0, a styles designed tool for raygui library, showing the new "Genesis" style, created with the same tool.

Hey! **rGuiStyler 6.0** is out! 🚀

A complete redesign for this raygui styles designer tool! I also created this new style called "Genesis"! I really like it, I think I'm using it with all my other tools! 😄

The tools is free and open-source!

rImageShield by raylib technologies A simple and easy-to-use image message embedder

Wondering if AI-generated images use steganography to include extra data in the images (date, model used, parameters, prompt...), I think it would be a great idea for tracking and regeneration...

If not, my tool rImageShield can be used for that.

raylibtech.itch.io/rimageshield

Just created a new raygui style to be used on my tools! I called it "Genesis"! 😄

`rGuiStyler 6.0` is almost ready, the definitive tool to create UI styles for raygui!

Hey! Working on NEW rGuiStyler release! My raygui styles editor tool! 🚀

New version allows configuring the font atlas and provides multiple new sample styles to start designing your custom tools style!
