## What it is
Raylib-cs provides C# bindings for raylib, a minimal, easy-to-use library for learning video game programming. It ships native raylib 6.0 libraries for Windows, macOS, Linux, and WebAssembly via NuGet.

## Use cases
- make a 2d game in c#
- learn game programming with c#
- create a 3d game prototype in dotnet
- build a webassembly game with c#
- draw graphics and play audio without a heavy engine
- port a raylib c project to c#

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, code-first game library in C# without engine overhead
- you are learning game programming and prefer reading simple code examples
- you need cross-platform desktop or wasm builds from a single .NET project

## When to avoid
- you need a full editor, visual tooling, or asset pipeline like Unity or Godot
- you require a large ecosystem of plugins and marketplace assets
- you need guaranteed long-term support, since the project is passively maintained

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: game-engine, graphics
- domain: cross-platform
- platform: windows, wasm, cross-platform
- tags: raylib, csharp-bindings, gamedev, 2d-games, 3d-games, opengl, nuget, game-development, linux, macos
