Rayex

Rayex provides Elixir NIF bindings to Raylib

NOTE: some of the functions on raylib are not implemented yet, check the contributing section to help

Installation

The package can be installed by adding rayex to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:rayex, "~> 0.0.3"}
  ]
end

The docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/rayex.

Running from source

You need the following packages installed on your system:

• elixir
• erlang (headers)
• pkg-config
• raylib v5.5
• glibc
• clang-tools (formatter)

If you are using Nix or NixOS you can run nix develop to get an ready to go env to work with!

Now you can run:

mix deps.get
iex -S mix

And test with:

# Import all modules
iex> use Rayex

# open new window
iex> init_window(200, 200, "window name")

# draw a line
iex> begin_drawing()
iex> draw_line(10, 10, 50, 51, %{r: 255, g: 161, b: 0, a: 255})
iex> end_drawing()

You can also run our examples!!

cd examples/3d_picking/
mix deps.get
iex -S mix

iex> The3dPicking.run()

Contributing

There are a few things that you need to know about the code:

• This project aims to run each one of these functions with elixir
• To do so, we are using Unifex to create NIFs
• On c_src/rayex/rayex.spec.exs you can find the definitions that will be generated by Unifex
• On c_src/rayex/rayex.c you can find how they are implemented
• On c_src/rayex/rayex.h and lib/unifex/code_generator/base_types/... you can find custom types
• On lib/rayex/unifex/raylib.ex is where the generated functions will be stored and used for each module under lib/rayex, the public API
