# Claro Graphics Status
|
|
|
|
Current release: **Claro v1.18.26**
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
