Scrollbars are awesome
Today I hacked my scrollbar to work as it does on the browser. Hacked because, I couldn't get the math right and kept missing the bottom by a bit. So when it reaches the end I just put it in the right place. I know it's…
Rendering text into a window
Till about three weeks ago, I had no idea about raylib. Now I'm absolutely loving it. To be fair I had no idea about how text actually got rendered on the screen, how fonts worked and so on. Did you know that font files (.ttf) have actual curves…
