raindrops is a small program that shows water falling and moving on your screen. It is written in the C programming language and uses a tool called raylib to create the graphics you see. This app is mainly for Windows users who want to watch a water simulation that looks natural. There are no complicated settings or controls — just a clear, smooth visual.
This program can run on most Windows computers made in the last 5 years. It uses your graphics card in a simple way to keep the water moving fluidly.
- Windows 10 or later (64-bit preferred)
- At least 4 GB of RAM
- A graphics card that supports OpenGL 3.3 or higher
- About 50 MB of free disk space
- Basic keyboard and mouse support (optional)
Your computer meets these requirements if it can run most modern programs or games without problems.

If you want to change the visual settings, you may look for a settings menu inside the program. Here are some common options you might find:
- Adjust the water speed or drop size
- Change the window size or run in full screen
- Enable or disable sound effects
- Set the background color or style
If raindrops does not include settings, you may need to change options by editing a file included in the program folder. Look for a file named config.ini or settings.txt and open it with Notepad. You can change numbers or words and save the file, then restart raindrops.
