This is just a simple demo in which a cube is rolled around a grid.
Simply press the arrow keys to control the position of the cube. Note how the arrow key input is not blocked when animations are still playing!
This is a Zig project that natively calls raylib code (which is written in C). (More on dependencies below.)
Since the Zig compiler comes with its own build system and is also a C compiler, the project can be built and run with the command
zig build run
A release build can be created with the following command.
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
The project was built with the Zig 0.11.0 compiler on Windows 11, available from the download page on ziglang.org. Compilation of the game on other operating systems has not been tested.
The project is written in Zig and uses the raylib library, specifically v5.0 (commit number ae50bfa). We included the necessary source files from raylib directly in our project (under the Raylib5 directory), but deleted unnecessary parts of the library (like its numerous examples). We also combined the build.zig file1 there into the build file for the project, simplifying it for Zig compiler 0.11.0.
Raylib is created by Ramon Santamaria (GitHub handle @raysan5) and is available on GitHub here. See the link above for Raylib's full license / copywrite details.
