Claro Graphics Status

Current release: Claro v2026.10.20.223203

Graphics support is intentionally separated from the stable beginner console workflow.

Beginner-safe track

Use these today:

  • console output with SAY
  • text-based examples
  • placeholder graphics docs/examples only when clearly marked experimental

This keeps Claro portable and easy to run on Windows, Linux, macOS, classrooms, and older laptops.

Experimental SDL track

Real SDL/window support is planned or experimental, not part of the stable claro.exe path yet.

Before SDL is treated as beginner-ready, Claro should have:

  • an optional build flag/backend
  • clear dependency checks
  • friendly "graphics unavailable" errors
  • tiny drawing examples
  • keyboard input examples
  • validation that non-graphics Claro still works without SDL installed
