Raku Land - Raylib::Bindings

raylib-raku (Raylib::Bindings)

Autogenerated raylib-raku bindings, powered by raku grammar and actions.

Preface

To make Raku play together with Raylib, many of Raylib's functions has to be wrapped into a function, to support pass as pointer meaning we are "pointerizing" the functions. This is done automatically when generating the bindings. The bindings are also converted to kebab-case to fit Raku code style.

On installation:

Generator.rakumod is fed raylib.h which gets parsed and translated via grammar and actions to Raku and C code.
Bindings.rakumod will be generated and placed into lib/Raylib
The pointerization and allocation C code gets compiled to be used by Raylib::Bindings.

Raylib::Bindings comes with support for malloc-ing Raylib structs,

Example the code below will allocate Color as a pointer.
my $white = Color.init(245, 245, 245, 255);

All struct/class in Raylib::Bindings are equipped with an init function,
which mallocs.
Manually calling free isn't necessary, since every struct/class are also equipped with a free on destroy mechanism and gets handled by the GC. Here is the DESTROY method of Color

submethod DESTROY {
    free-Color(self);
}
