go-invaders

Go Invaders

Space Invaders–style game using raylib-go (github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go/raylib). Part of the polyglot repo; see the root README for context, controls overview, and comparison notes.

Requirements

• Go — version in go.mod (currently go 1.25.6).
• CGO and Raylib — raylib-go wraps the C library. Install Raylib development files for your OS so the linker can find libraylib (and typical graphics deps: OpenGL, X11/Wayland, etc., depending on platform).

Run

From the repository root:

cd go-invaders
go run .

Tests

cd go-invaders
go test ./...

Layout

• main.go — window, input, game loop, rendering.
• config.go — screen size, speeds, limits.
• entities.go — shared types / helpers for game objects.

Controls

Move with Left / Right, A / D, or H / L. Space fires with an 8-frame cooldown (key-down). Enter restarts after game over or win. Full table and differences vs Rust/Zig: root README — Controls.
