SDL3 - GoLang - Example Project

this is a small "Hello World" to checkout SDL3-Purego.

A Version of SDL3, that lets Go load the Runtime-Binarys directly. Instead of having to build them via CGO first.

the main.go is an example application. (Just a 320x200px black window, with "Hello" written into it)

how to make it work

• I've put all runtimes I could test into this project as well. because the SDL3 ones are hard to find otherwise. (Source: https://www.lwjgl.org/browse/nightly)

• Copy the runtime for your Build-Target next to your build binary (or into your go modules root folder)

• Then remove the amd64. or arm64. Prefix. from it.

• as for the code, have a look at the main.go for a starting point.

dependencies

The Project should just have 2 depencies

• github.com/ebitengine/purego (indirect) will load the SDL3-Runtime Lib (.dll, .so.0 or .dylib)

• github.com/jupiterrider/purego-sdl3 Provides all the SDL3-Bindings to Go

A BIG thank you to https://github.com/JupiterRider (PureGo-SDL3) and https://github.com/ebitengine (PureGo) I can't wait to play around with this.
