raylib-lua-sol

Lua bindings for raylib, a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming, with sol (www.raylib.com)

raylib-lua-sol bindings are self-contained in a header-only file: raylib-lua-sol.hpp. Just include that file in your project to allow loading and execution of raylib code written in Lua and Sol.

raylib-lua-sol could be useful for prototyping, tools development, graphic applications, embedded systems and education.

Example

local screenWidth = 800
local screenHeight = 450

InitWindow(screenWidth, screenHeight, "raylib [core] example - basic window")

SetTargetFPS(60)

while not WindowShouldClose() do
    BeginDrawing()
        ClearBackground(RAYWHITE)
        DrawText("Congrats! You created your first window!", 190, 200, 20, LIGHTGRAY)
    EndDrawing()
end
CloseWindow()

CLI

A raylib-lua-sol CLI launcher is provided. This launcher allows you to run raylib lua programs from command line, or just with drag & drop of .lua files into raylib-lua-sol.exe.

Note that launcher can also be compiled for other platforms, just need to link with Lua, raylib and sol libraries. For more details, just check comments on sources.
