3 **raylib is a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.**
4
5 raylib is highly inspired by Borland BGI graphics lib and by XNA framework and it's especially well suited for prototyping, tooling, graphical applications, embedded systems and education.
6
7 *NOTE for ADVENTURERS: raylib is a programming library to enjoy videogames programming; no fancy interface, no visual helpers, no debug button... just coding in the most pure spartan-programmers way.*

57 basic example
58 --------------
59 This is a basic raylib example, it creates a window and draws the text `"Congrats! You created your first window!"` in the middle of the screen. Check this example [running live on web here](https://www.raylib.com/examples/core/loader.html?name=core_basic_window).
60 ```c
61 #include "raylib.h"
62
63 int main(void)
64 {
65 InitWindow(800, 450, "raylib example - basic window");
66
67 while (!WindowShouldClose())
68 {
69 BeginDrawing();
70 ClearBackground(RAYWHITE);
71 DrawText("Congrats! You created your first window!", 190, 200, 20, LIGHTGRAY);
72 EndDrawing();
73 }
74
75 CloseWindow();
76
77 return 0;
78 }
79 ```

104 #### Setup raylib with multiple IDEs
105
106 raylib has been developed on Windows platform using [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/) and [MinGW GCC](https://www.mingw-w64.org/) compiler but it can be used with other IDEs on multiple platforms.
107
108 [Projects directory](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/tree/master/projects) contains several ready-to-use **project templates** to build raylib and code examples with multiple IDEs.
109
110 *Note that there are lots of IDEs supported, some of the provided templates could require some review, so please, if you find some issue with a template or you think they could be improved, feel free to send a PR or open a related issue.*

112 learning and docs
113 ------------------
114
115 raylib is designed to be learned using [the examples](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/tree/master/examples) as the main reference. There is no standard API documentation but there is a [**cheatsheet**](https://www.raylib.com/cheatsheet/cheatsheet.html) containing all the functions available on the library a short description of each one of them, input parameters and result value names should be intuitive enough to understand how each function works.
116
