zig-xplat-cube

A Zig based attempt to rotate a cube on multiple platforms.

Rationale

I want to learn Zig, and I want to learn how to make cross platform applications. I also want to learn how to make 3D graphics. This project is an attempt to do all of those things at once.

Developer Guide

Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/carljdp/zig-xplat-cube.git
cd zig-xplat-cube
zig build run

Prerequisites / Dependencies

• zig
• vcpkg - for installing glfw on windows
• glfw - for windowing and opengl context
  • I have not yet decided between glad and glew for opengl loading. I'm currently using glad because it seems to be the more modern of the two.
    • glfw is a C library, so we need to use c_import to use it in Zig.

Project Conventions

Structure
