Zig Gaming Library

A simple game lib for mac, windows, linux and web with support for crosscompilation to the mentioned platforms.

Purpose: For me to learn graphics programming.

zig dependencies

• glfw
• wgpu-native
• emscripten(web)

Goals

• crosscompilation
• a high level api
• only zig as dependencie

Idea of high level api for drawing shapes

fn drawFram() {
    var scene = zgl.Scene.init(allocator);
    defer scene.deinit();

    try scene.drawRectanle(.{ .x, .y, ...});
    try scene.drawCircle(...);
}

Usage

See examples directory.

BUGS

wgpu-native and emscripten both differ from webgpu-native header. Webgpu isn't completed yet but creating bindings proves tiresome.

One option is to use zig translate-c option but I quite like doing the bindings manually for learning purposes.

Differences between wgpu-native and emscripten webgpu

• wgpuSurfaceCapabilities in emscripten doesn't have field usages.
• wgpuFrontFace enum values differs
• wgpuPrimitiveTopology enum values differs
