The example catalog: 113 raylib examples

A map of the whole suite. Each example is one namespace under src/examples/ (or src/examples/games/, src/examples/models/), runnable via bb <name> or clj -M:<alias>. bb examples prints this same grouping live from bb/helpers.bb's examples registry; this page is that registry rendered as a browsable table, plus (where known) which official raylib C example a given Clojure example ports. Nearly every "ported from" cell cites a file in raysan5/raylib's own examples/ tree; the 3 cells marked ¹ instead cite the companion raysan5/raylib-games repo; see the note under the games table below.

Full-size preview gallery: demos.md: every example at full size, one-line description included. The preview column below thumbnails straight from the same committed GIFs (docs/demos/*.gif), regenerated by the maintainer-only bb record task and configured by scripts/demo_manifest.edn.

Run one, or see them all grouped:

bb <name>       # e.g. bb asteroids   (opens a window)
bb examples     # this same grouping, printed from the terminal
