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! 😄
raylib running on RISC-V board, Orange Pi RV2, using Mesa llvmpipe software renderer backend, getting ~300 sprites @ 30fps.

Next: try new raylib rlsw software renderer and RVV extension... 🔥👍😄

NEWS! raylib custom Software Renderer backend [rlsw.h] has been finally merged! 🚀

For the first time in this 12-years journey, there is a NO-DEPENDENCIES path available for raylib rendering, no platform library (direct Win32 implementation) and no OpenGL required! 🤯

Finally implemented a simple, easy-to-use, FOSS and GDPR-compliant visits-counter for raylib website! And it's getting 5000-6000 visits per day!!! 🤯

Many thanks to Alex for librecounter, an amazing tool! ❤️
There's a new champion in librecounter.org, and it's Raylib by @raysan5.bsky.social ! More than double the previous top contender. Not only is it a free libre open source library, the project is led by the awesome Ramón Santamaría from Barcelona. Congrats!

After a couple of months, my hobby project of restoring old hammers from my woordworkers ancestors has come to an end. Really enjoyed it! 🔨

Time to look for a new hobby project (no tech-related)! Recommendations? 🤔

raylib running on Anbernic RG35XX Plus game console. 100 animated 3d character instances running at +40 fps! 😮

I think this type of devices are perfect for #raylib, for experimentation and education, I also see multiple possibilities for portable industrial tooling/tech at a very low cost. 🚀

RISC-V is the future and raylib is already running in one of the few RISC-V powered computers in the market, the Orange Pi RV2! The future is now! 🚀

Yesterday I went to the land and I caught a frog!!! 🐸

When was the last time you caught a frog??? 🌱

For the last weeks I've been restoring some hammers, really enjoyed it! 💯

It was great to disconnect from technology for some hours while handcrafting some metal and wood tools! Recommended experience! ⚒️

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.🚀

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! 😱

Hey! raylib surpassed the 250K downloads on GitHub, only from Releases! 🤯

And not considering GitHub clones and downloads from other platforms!

It seems C is popular again! 🚀
