A new gizmo example

🔗non-exclusive immidiate mode

Non-exclusive macroquad-0.4 comaptibility mode allows using the old API alongside the new one, porting old code to new API part by part.

async fn game(ctx: macroquad::Context) {
-    init_compat_mode(ctx);
+    init_compat_mode(&ctx);

    loop {
        clear_background(LIGHTGRAY);

        draw_line(40.0, 40.0, 100.0, 200.0, 15.0, BLUE);
        draw_rectangle(screen_width() / 2.0 - 60.0, 100.0, 120.0, 60.0, GREEN);
        draw_circle(screen_width() - 30.0, screen_height() - 30.0, 15.0, YELLOW);
        draw_text("HELLO", 20.0, 20.0, 30.0, DARKGRAY);

        next_frame().await
    }
