Topics

Here is a list of all topics with brief descriptions:

[detail level 12]

Example Codes	Runnable example programs, from single-API demos to full tutorials
Core	General-purpose API
Application	Drive a Banjo program through banjo-managed setup, step, and teardown callbacks
Main Entry Point	Write a regular int main(...), include <banjo/main.h>, and Banjo provides whatever platform entry point the target actually wants
Audio	Generate and play sound samples from your application
Bitmap	Pictures in memory: load them, draw into them, copy them onto each other
Drawing	Draw lines, shapes, and outlines into a bitmap
Pixel Definition	How a pixel's colour is stored in memory
Shaders	Fill every pixel of a bitmap with the result of a small function you supply
Argument Parsing	Parse argc/argv into named options and positional values
Error Management	Report and inspect things that went wrong, without exceptions
Event	Pick up keyboard, mouse, and window-focus events from the user
Logging	Severity-filtered structured logging
Math	A small math toolkit: a choose-your-precision real type, constants, the standard <math.h> functions with consistent naming, and a few extras
Geometry 2D	2D Geometry utilities
Memory Management	Allocate, free, and (optionally) replace how Banjo gets memory from the heap
Network	Talk to other programs over a network: TCP for streams, UDP for datagrams
Physics	Building blocks for simulating motion and forces
2D Physics	Physics for things that move on a flat 2D plane: positions, velocities, forces, particles
Random	Generate random-looking numbers from a generator, then shape them into useful distributions
Data Stream	Read bytes one chunk at a time from either a file or an in-memory buffer, with the same API for both
String Utilities	Lightweight wrappers around standard C string functions
System	Turn Banjo's subsystems on and off, and load shared libraries at runtime
Time	Three kinds of time: what time is it, how long since X, and please pause for a bit
Windows	Open and manage the on-screen window, and read keyboard state
