Game Development
Game-related Libraries
- TSDL:
An OCaml module providing thin bindings to the
SDL2.0 library. SDL provides a cross-platform interface for graphics, sound, fonts, and game controller input. This library usesctypes, and therefore requires less work to track changes to the C SDL libraries.- tsdl-ttf: Support for SDL’s truetype font library.
- tsdl-mixer: Support for the sound mixer component of TSDL.
- tsdl-image: Support for the image-loading component of SDL.
- OCamlSDL2:
Bindings to the
SDL2.0 library using the traditional C ffi rather thanctypes, and therefore will produce warnings and errors if there are API changes. Bindings (possibly incomplete) exist also for:- OCamlSDL2_TTF: Support for SDL2’s truetype font library.
- OCamlSDL2_Mixer: Support for the sound mixer component of OCamlSDL2.
- OCamlSDL2_Image: Support for the image-loading component of SDL2.
- OCamlSDL2_Gfx: Support for graphics primitives for SDL2.
- OCamlSDL2_Net: Support for the network library for SDL2. (Currently only provides UPD.)
- OCamlSDL:
Bindings to the older
SDLv1.2 suite, includingSDL_image,SDL_ttf,SDL_mixerandSDL_net.

Game Engines
- ocaml-orx: Bindings to the orx game engine.
- raylib: Bindings to the raylib game library.
