6 years ago Hi Ray,
The decision to develop the tools in Java instead of in C has been fundamentally for 3 reasons:
- The programming in C 97 is a headache, xD, C # could have been considered.
- Java is cross-platform, we just have to make a compilation and a single version of the code.
- There are many third-party libraries that help with the treatment of images and sounds.
I hope to have solved your doubts.
Enjoy the new version of Resource Manager 0.4.0

Hi, I've been following this project for long time, really like it despite not having enough time to use it extensively. Creating a Megadrive game is in my long TODO list.
I've seen that lately you're relying on Java for some tools creation, specifically resourcemanager, my question is, why not use also C for tools creation? Java requires Java Runtime installation and, personally, I don't like it. Usually a Java app is also slower and more cumbersome than a simple C application.
I've created a simple and easy-to-use C library for apps/gamedev: raylib (lightweight, multiplatform, no-external-dependencies, high-performant), also created raygui, intended for simple tools, and I think it could fit with your tooling.
I can take a look to resourcemanager and see if I can create some similar interface with raylib+raygui. Please, could you share some screenshots of resourcemanager (I can't find the binary)?
In any case, congrats for your amazing library! :)
