flan/HANDOFF-raylib-ports.md

Handoff — the last two raylib ports

Two examples, text_codepoints_loading and textures_image_processing, ported into examples/. This file is the running record: what is done, what was decided without being able to ask, and what is still open. PORTING.md gets the findings that outlive the port; this file gets the state of the work.

Status

• examples/text-codepoints-loading.flan
• examples/textures-image-processing.flan
• Headless acceptance cases for the halves that are arithmetic
• PORTING.md section for this round

The plan, and why it is this one

Both examples in the upstream tree load a file out of resources/, and neither file is in this repo. That is the first decision and it is made the same way the three textures examples already here made it: nothing is vendored, the pixels are generated. parrots.png is ❔ in raylib's own examples/textures/resources/LICENSE.md — no author, no licence — so it is not a file to copy into somebody else's repository on a sleeping author's behalf. The image-processing example builds its source image out of gen-image-* calls instead.

The font is the harder half and is the one open question below.

Open questions for the author

1. Vendor DotGothic16-Regular.ttf? text_codepoints_loading draws Japanese, and there is no CJK font in this tree. The font is SIL OFL 1.1 and therefore redistributable, but it is 2 MB of binary in a repository that has one 1 KB PNG in it, and that is a call about the repository rather than about the port. The example is written to work either way: it looks for the file, and if the font did not load it says so on screen and falls back to the default font. Drop the TTF in and the glyphs appear.
