Originally spawned in July 2021 by Michal Ziulek. We build a game development ecosystem for the Zig programming language and toolchain
- Cross-platform and composable libraries
- Cross-platform sample applications
- DirectX 12 sample applications

- Very modular toolbox of libraries
- Zig is the only prerequisit to build on Windows, macOS and Linux; no platform specific libraries or build tools need to be installed
- Libraries are written from scratch in Zig or provide bindings for carefully selected C/C++ libraries
Note: Libraries are currently located in the monorepo and are each being migrated to there own repository.
