The original repo spawned in July 2021 by Michal Ziulek. This is the main development repo for the zig-gamedev libraries and sample applications.

• Download and install Git LFS
• Download and install anyzig (recommended) or get a compatible Zig compiler by some other means.
• Clone this repo git clone [email protected]:zig-gamedev/zig-gamedev.git && cd zig-gamedev

Build and run a sample app:

zig build physically_based_rendering_wgpu-run

Get a list of all available build steps for the native target:

zig build -l

Get a list of all available build steps for web (using emscripten):

zig build -l -Dtarget=wasm32-emscripten

Some of the sample applications are listed below. More can be found in samples directory.

1. physically based rendering (wgpu): This sample implements physically-based rendering (PBR) and image-based lighting (IBL) to achive realistic looking rendering results.
   zig build physically_based_rendering_wgpu-run

   

2. audio experiments (wgpu): This sample lets the user experiment with audio and observe data that feeds the hardware.
   zig build audio_experiments_wgpu-run

   

3. bullet physics test (wgpu): This sample application demonstrates how to use full 3D physics engine in your Zig programs.
   zig build bullet_physics_test_wgpu-run

   

4. procedural mesh (wgpu): This sample shows how to efficiently draw several procedurally generated meshes.
   zig build procedural_mesh_wgpu-run

   

5. gui test (wgpu): This sample shows how to use our zgui library.
   zig build gui_test_wgpu-run

   

Some of the sample applications are listed below. More can be found in samples directory. They can be built and run on Windows and Linux (Wine + VKD3D-Proton 2.8+):

1. bindless: This sample implements physically based shading and image based lighting to achieve realistic looking rendering results. It uses bindless textures and HLSL 6.6 dynamic resources.
   zig build bindless-run

   

2. rasterization: This sample application shows how GPU rasterizes triangles in slow motion.
   zig build rasterization-run

   

3. simple raytracer: This sample implements basic hybrid renderer. It uses rasterization to resolve primary rays and raytracing (DXR) for shadow rays.
   zig build simple_raytracer-run

   

4. mesh shader test: This sample shows how to use DirectX 12 Mesh Shader.
   zig build mesh_shader_test-run
