Be honest, if your Blender doesn't look like this... are you even blending? #b3d #Blender3D

Writing and Releasing a game in zig

Today, I released Konkan Coast Pirate Solutions on Steam. It's a cozy puzzle game about helping...

It's been a long voyage, but we're finally here. I am super excited to announce that Konkan Coast Pirate Solutions is out now on Steam. store.steampowered.com/app/2156410/Ko #gamedevelopment #indiegames

[2/2] I'm not wrapping functions into Zig objects because it would not be fully consistent. I'm not depending on translate-c because I want to provide default values for structures and non-[*c] pointers. Lastly, I'm not using `anytype` at all. #ziglang #gamedev

[1/2] Initial zflecs API on the screenshot. I think that flecs API is mature, well documented and thought through (great work by

@ajmmertens

). This is why I have decided to use original naming convention. Also,

zflecs "hello world":

OpenGL function pointers are *NOT* aligned to 8 bytes on M1 macOS? What?! (I get pointers with SDL_GL_GetProcAddress() after context creation).

zig-gamedev project: We now have bindings for OpenGL 3.3 (Core Profile) and SDL2 (wip). First example program has been also added. Everything work out of the box on Windows, Linux and macOS. Just `zig build`. We ship "universal" SDL2 binaries for all 3 OSes. #ziglang

64K different shapes (cubes, spheres, cylinders, and capsules) drawn in a single draw call, getting ~150 FPS in Unity editor. Meshes are sliced into 64-vertex triangle strips, and each "instance" is one triangle strip. Each solid color here is a separate triangle strip

zigtools has had an Open Collective for a bit, but now we also have a GitHub Sponsors page! If you like zls and want to support its development into the near to far future, or you just want to say thanks, check it out: github.com/sponsors/zigto :)

Ok! First announcement: 1. The Elvengroin Legacy is now called Tides of Revival! 2. I have team members now!

@gmodarelli has rewritten the terrain rendering! @dryaddn has started making art! Proper art!! :D More in the video and on Mastodon! youtube.com/watch?v=__UYsa

Second announcement! I'm starting a newsletter!! 📜 === Open World Gamedev === The first issue is here: n-world-gamedev-newsletter.vercel.app/issues/2023/20 The purpose is to collect resources, old and new, across a wide spectrum of fields, that are related to making open world games. RTs appreciated :)

zphysics (Jolt Physics bindings) in #ziglang and #clanguage github.com/michal-z/zig-g Small API overview on the screenshot:

[2/2] modules, options and even dependencies using the same API. I think that the new Zig build API is very nice improvement. Good job Zig Team! :) #zigalng

[1/2] Note that each lib is a "package" in Zig's terminology. Each package can consists of multiple modules. For example, zmath package consists of "main" module (`zmath.module`) and "options module" (`zmath.options_module`). Our setup is extensible because we can add new

[2/2] different computation results. When `prefer_determinism == true` we always generate mul- add sequence. Otherwise, we generate fma - if target supports it - or mul-add sequence if it does not.

[1/2] Our zmath library just got `prefer_determinism` build option. When set to `true` compiler won't generate fma (fused-multiply add) instructions even if target CPU supports it. fma is great (faster and more accurate) but older CPUs does not support it so we get slightly

Example of our new build script: 1. Fetch packages providing options and dependencies 2. Add modules you need to your CompileStep (exe) 3. Call link() to build C/C++ code or perform some custom steps if needed (also, pass options if needed) #ziglang

Feb 7

zig-gamedev project now builds fine with latest Zig compiler. I've improved and simplified all our build scripts. #ziglang

Feb 5

I'm currently adapting zig-gamedev build scripts to the latest build API changes - code does not compile at the moment with latest master build of the compiler - sorry for the inconvenience.
