This change could break things. So, I created SUPPORT_HIGH_DPI flag to enable it (disabled by default). Basically, it detects HighDPI display and scales all drawing (and mouse input) appropiately to match the equivalent "standardDPI" screen size on highDPI. It uses screenScaling matrix to do that. This scaling comes with some undesired effects, like aliasing on default font text (keep in mind that font is pixel-perfect, not intended for any non-rounded scale factor). The only solution for this aliasing would be some AA postpro filter or implementing the highDPI scaling in a different way: rendering to a texture and scaling it with FILTER_BILINEAR, check `core_window_scale_letterbox.c` example for reference. Use at your own risk.
raylib is a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.
raylib is highly inspired by Borland BGI graphics lib and by XNA framework and it's specially well suited for prototyping, tooling, graphical applications, embedded systems and education.
NOTE for ADVENTURERS: raylib is a programming library to enjoy videogames programming; no fancy interface, no visual helpers, no auto-debugging... just coding in the most pure spartan-programmers way.

raylib uses on its core module the outstanding GLFW3 library, embedded inside raylib in the form of rglfw module, to avoid external dependencies.
raylib uses on its raudio module, the amazing miniaudio audio library to support multiple platforms and multiple audio backends.
raylib uses internally multiple single-file header-only libraries to support multiple fileformats loading and saving, all those libraries are embedded with raylib and available in src/external directory. Check raylib Wiki for a detailed list.
On Android platform, native_app_glue module module (provided by Android NDK) and native Android libraries are used to manage window/context, inputs and activity life cycle.
On Raspberry Pi platform (native mode), Videocore API and EGL libraries are used for window/context management. Inputs are processed using evdev Linux libraries
build and installation
Binary releases for Windows, Linux and macOS are available at the Github Releases page. raylib is also available via multiple package managers on multiple OS distributions. Check raylib Wiki for more info.
If you wish to build raylib yourself, the raylib Wiki also contains detailed instructions on how to approach that.
raylib has been developed using two tools:
- Notepad++ (text editor) - http://notepad-plus-plus.org
- MinGW (GCC compiler) - http://www.mingw.org
Those are the tools recommended to enjoy raylib development.
