Adding Custom MenuBar to my Game Engine using RayLib | Game Engine Development in GOlang

In this video, I’ll walk you through how I built a *Menubar from scratch in Go* for my custom game engine using Raylib.
We’ll go in depth of my implementation and issues I have faced during the implementation.

You’ll learn:
• How to add menubar to your Raylib applications in GO.
• Why Depth sorting matters when drawing GUI elements.
• RayLib library limitations.
• Final thoughts and future plans for the engine

This video is perfect if you’re interested in:
• *Game engine development in Go*
• *Graphics programming & rendering*
• *Designing custom UI frameworks*
• *Learning software architecture for games and tools*
