Made for Pulsar!

This package was written specifically for Pulsar and did not exist in the Atom package repository.

raylib for Pulsar

raylib 6.0 code completion, snippets, boilerplate, and a run button for C and C++ in the Pulsar editor.

About

This package brings the raylib 6.0 API into Pulsar for C and C++ projects. It provides autocomplete for raylib functions, structs, enums, and defines, curated snippets, one-command boilerplate insertion, optional signature help and hover docs, and a status bar button that runs your project with a command you configure. Everything except signature help and hover docs works with zero extra setup. The optional services activate only when a compatible consumer package is installed and stay silent otherwise.

Features

Completions for raylib 6.0 functions (with tab stopped parameter snippets), structs, enums, and #define constants in .c and .cpp files. Function return type shows on the left, raylib on the right, and the upstream description inline.
Snippets (prefix, then Tab):
- rlloop main game loop
- rlwindow window scaffold
- rldraw drawing block
- rlcam2d Camera2D setup
- rlshader shader load and unload
Boilerplate commands (command palette or the Packages menu):
- raylib:insert-main-loop
- raylib:insert-starter-file-c
- raylib:insert-starter-file-cpp
Signature help and hover docs (optional): versioned signature-help and datatip services, active when a consumer package provides them.
Run button (optional): when the open project uses raylib (a source file includes raylib.h), a run tile appears in the status bar. Clicking it runs the command from the raylib.runCommand setting in the project root. The command palette entry is raylib:run.

Install

From the Pulsar settings view, open Packages, search for raylib, and install. Or from the command line:

ppm install raylib

Configuration

raylib.runCommand (string, default make && ./game): shell command the run button uses to build and launch the project. It runs in the project root.

Development

Requires Node 22 and Bun as the package manager. TypeScript source lives in src/ and compiles to lib/, which Pulsar loads.

nvm use 22
bun install
bun run build
pulsar --test lib/spec

To run a single compiled suite while iterating:

pulsar --test lib/spec/api-spec.js

The vendored data/raylib_api.json is a hand authored bootstrap subset. A maintainer regenerates the full file from a pinned upstream raylib release with script/update-api.js (humans only).
