Raylib 4.0 Pascal Bindings

Supporting Windows, macOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi environments

This package includes a complete set of Pascal bindings for Raylib version 4.0. Raylib is a popular game development toolkit in the computer programming education space. This package supports the following Raylib modules:

• Raylib Core (raylib.pas)
  • Shapes
  • Text
  • Images
  • Models
  • Windowing and Input
  • Music and Audio
  • Collision Detection
• Raylib GL (raylib.gl.pas)
  • Simplified OpenGL Interface
• Raylib GUI (raylib.gui.pas)
  • Basic UI Controls
  • Icons

Basic Window

The following example will give you a basic window.

program HelloWorld;

uses
  Raylib;

const
  W = 800;
  H = 450;
begin
  // Create a 800 x 450 window
  InitWindow(W, H, 'This is a Raylib window');
  // Be nice to our GPU and limit the framerate
  SetTargetFPS(60);
  // Repeat while the window hasn't been closed
  while not WindowShouldClose do
  begin
    // Clear the screen with white
    ClearBackground(WHITE);
    BeginDrawing;
      // Draw our Hello World! message
      DrawText('Hello World!', 20, 20, 20, MAROON);
      // Draw a the current framerate
      DrawText(TextFormat('FPS is %d', GetFPS), 20, 50, 20, MAROON);
      // Draw a dark blue triangle
      DrawTriangle(Vec(W div 2, 150), Vec(W div 2 - 80, 300), Vec(W div 2 + 80, 300), DARKBLUE);
    EndDrawing;
  end;
  CloseWindow;
end.

This is the result:

Examples

If you would like to see what can be done with Raylib, this page contains many examples alongside with source code.

Documentation

Raylib has a fairly complete cheatsheet page you can use as a reference. All the functions are easy to use and are pretty self explanatory.

A Note on Compiling and Running

Here are a few notes you should be aware of when using the Pascal bindings in this package.

Windows

The file dlls/raylib.dll must be copied to a folder in your path. You can do this by copying raylib.dll to your program folder, or by copying raylib.dll to C:\Windows\System32 one time.

Linux, MacOS, and Raspberry Pi

Static libraries are used and everything is built into your programs.

When compiling from the command line, make sure the src folder is included in your unit path.

Example

fpc helloworld.pas -Fu../src
