Related, check out raylib, the rendering/game engine made by the same author!

I’ve used Raylib and raygui on a few RPi based projects and recommend it. It’s a really simple, intuitive way to get an OpenGL-based UI running. Good alternative to web-based UIs because it has similar simplicity but runs on devices with lower specs. I built this pinball machine with raylib: https://youtu.be/iiBn7FVzlcc

Ray is amazing. He's been at it since around 2014. Super friendly, super responsive dude

Brilliant project and execution. I love the idea of bringing the tactile experience together with a digital gaming experience.

This is fantastic, it’s a shame this doesn’t have more views. If it’s okay, I submitted it to the hackaday.com tip line.

Thanks! A little more detail at https://www.chrisdalke.com/projects/mini-pinball-machine/, and the Raylib-based code is on GitHub: https://github.com/chrisdalke/mini-pinball-machine

Raylib is great and one of my preferred libraries for writing emulators in. But I will say if you’re expecting something like imgui or nuklear with Raygui, it’s not nearly as advanced or usable.

Curious what makes Raylib good for emulators? I’m genuinely interested in this.

Ive been making a simple wolfenstein 3d clone with raylib and C, its so easy to jump into even for a complete newbie in C like me!

That's just super cool. I love what you did with the scoreboard!
