Re: Factor

The Raylib library is a “simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming” that has seen an increasing popularity in making quick visual demos and games.

We released support for it in Factor 0.99 and have been keeping it up-to-date. Currently, we support version 4.5 – although I just noticed that version 5.0 came out somewhat recently and seems to represent an exciting future that we should probably update to soon.

Joseph Oziel, one of our recent contributors, was learning Factor and Raylib by making a fun little game called BitGuessr. The game presents two buttons, a 0 and a 1 and you have to guess a series of bits that are generated randomly and try to achieve a high score! It supports keyboard and mouse inputs and has sounds and music as well.

Pretty fun – I love this use of Factor! – and particularly neat that they have used our deployment system to create standalone executables as a way of distributing it.

You can read more about it and see the source code as well.
