Like https://github.com/floooh/pacman.c, but in Zig.

Zig bindings for the sokol headers are here: https://github.com/floooh/sokol-zig

WASM version

Requires Zig version 0.11.0

Zig installation: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/wiki/Install-Zig-from-a-Package-Manager

git clone https://github.com/floooh/pacman.zig
cd pacman.zig
zig build run

On Windows, rendering is done via D3D11, on Linux through OpenGL and on macOS through Metal.

On Linux, you need to install the usual dev-packages for GL-, X11- and ALSA-development.

Building the project to run in web browsers requires the Emscripten SDK to provide a sysroot and linker:

git clone https://github.com/floooh/pacman.zig
cd pacman.zig

# install emsdk into a subdirectory
git clone https://github.com/emscripten-core/emsdk.git
cd emsdk
./emsdk install latest
./emsdk activate latest
cd ..

# build for wasm32-freestanding
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSmall -Dtarget=wasm32-freestanding --sysroot emsdk/upstream/emscripten/cache/sysroot

The resulting .html, .js and .wasm files are under zig-out/web.

...to build and start the result in a browser, add a 'run' argument to 'zig build', this uses the Emscripten SDK emrun tool to start a local webserver and the browser. Note that you need to hit Ctrl-C to exit after closing the browser:

zig build run -Doptimize=ReleaseSmall -Dtarget=wasm32-freestanding --sysroot emsdk/upstream/emscripten/cache/sysroot

Note that the Emscripten build currently requires a couple of hacks and workarounds in the build process, details are in the build.zig file.
