Example Applications

Hello World

; Basic raylib window
rl: import\go "raylib"

rl/init-window 600 450 "raylib - Hello from Rye!"
rl/set-target-fps 60

while { not rl/window-should-close } {
    rl/begin-drawing
    rl/clear-background rl/ray-white?
    rl/draw-text "Ryelang + Raylib <3" 190 200 20 rl/red?
    rl/end-drawing
}

rl/close-window

Bouncing Ball

; Bouncing ball animation
rl: import\go "raylib"

screen-width: 800
screen-height: 600

var 'x 400.0
var 'y 300.0
var 'dx 5.0
var 'dy 3.0
radius: 20.0

rl/init-window screen-width screen-height "Bouncing Ball - Rye + Raylib"
rl/set-target-fps 60

while { not rl/window-should-close } {
    ; Update position
    change! x + dx 'x
    change! y + dy 'y

    ; Bounce off walls
    if x < radius { change! negate dx 'dx }
    if x > ( screen-width - radius ) { change! negate dx 'dx }
    if y < radius { change! negate dy 'dy }
    if y > ( screen-height - radius ) { change! negate dy 'dy }

    ; Draw
    rl/begin-drawing
    rl/clear-background rl/ray-white?
    rl/draw-circle x .integer y .integer radius rl/red?
    rl/draw-fps 10 10
    rl/end-drawing
}

rl/close-window

## Interactive Development

Start the Rye console for interactive graphics development:

```bash
./rye-raylib

; Quick graphics demo in the console
rye> rl: import\go "raylib"
rye> rl/init-window 400 300 "Quick Demo"
rye> rl/set-target-fps 60
rye> loop 100 { rl/begin-drawing rl/clear-background rl/blue? rl/end-drawing }
rye> rl/close-window
