In the last years I've been asked multiple times about the comparison between raylib and SDL libraries. Unfortunately, my experience with SDL was quite limited so I couldn't provide a good comparison. In the last two years I've learned about SDL and used it to teach at University so I feel that now I can provide a good comparison between both.

Hope it helps future users to better understand this two libraries internals and functionality.

CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like Unreal or Unity for their games (or that's what lot of people think) because d

/*:
 This is a concept re-implementation of the @Binding and @State property wrappers from SwiftUI

 The only purpose of this code is to implement those wrappers myself
   just to understand how they work internally and why they are needed,

 ⚠️ This is not supposed to be a reference implementation nor cover all
      subtleties of the real Binding and State types.
    The only purpose of this playground is to show how re-implementing
      them myself has helped me understand the whole thing better
