Joseph Ferano afec482722 Ten raylib examples, and what they could not say
The first ten of raylib's core list, ported. Seven new bindings and the
named colour palette; nothing else was added, because a binding called
by nothing is the same as not having bound it.

The gaps they found are the point. No number reaches draw-text: i64->bytes
answers [u8], draw-text wants a string, and nothing bridges — five of the
ten wanted TextFormat and got a glyph table instead. And an enum parameter
cannot be driven by a loop variable: the index is an i32, the parameter is
an enum, neither converts, and a second declare-c with an i32 face is
refused because one C function gets one binding. Two correct rules that
compose into a wall.

None of the gaps expected blocked anything: no generics, no allocator, no
Vec, no escaping closure, no block-scoped defer. These are input-and-draw
programs over fixed-size state, which is the shape the language has.

;;;; raylib [core] example - input multitouch
;;;;
;;;; examples/core/core_input_multitouch.c. No new bindings: the whole touch
;;;; surface was already there for sand.flan's read-out.
;;;;
;;;; The C keeps `Vector2 touchPositions[MAX_TOUCH_POINTS]`, and this is the
;;;; first example that needs a fixed array whose element type is a STRUCT
;;;; rather than a number. That works — `[10 rl/Vector2]` is ten Vector2s laid
;;;; out flat, no headers, and `(at touch-positions i)` is a place that can be
;;;; assigned a whole struct. Nothing in the repository used one before, so it
;;;; is worth saying that it does.
;;;;
;;;; It is a top-level `defvar` and not a local, which is NOT a stylistic
;;;; choice. A `let` binding takes no type annotation, so the only way to make
;;;; a fixed array inside a function is to initialise it from a literal with
;;;; every element written out — ten `(rl/Vector2 {:x 0.0 :y 0.0})`s here, and
;;;; thirty-two in the gestures testbed. A zeroed local array of a given type
;;;; cannot be spelled. Static storage is what the C's `= { 0 }` gets anyway.
;;;;
;;;; On a desktop with no touchscreen get-touch-point-count is 0 and this draws
;;;; nothing at all, which is correct and is also what the C does. The window
;;;; opening and the help text appearing is the whole of what can be checked
;;;; without hardware.
