## Introduction

Zevy Raylib is a small library that wires the Raylib runtime into a Zevy ECS-based app. It handles window creation, input harvesting, asset management and sets up RayGui-based UI systems with multiple layout options.

---

## Quick Start

[Examples](examples/) can be ran with:

```bash

zig build examples

```

> [!NOTE]

> Requires `libgl-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxi-dev libxcursor-dev` on Linux.

---

## Contributing

- Follow existing Zig patterns

- Register new plugins in `src/root.zig` by adding them to `plug()`

- Add unit tests beside features in the `src/*` directory. Prefer tests to be named `*_tests.zig`.
