Mach is a Zig game engine and graphics toolkit for building high-performance, cross-platform games, visualizations, and desktop/mobile GUI apps. It is modular, usable as a gamedev standard library, an alternative to GLFW/SDL/Raylib, or a full engine, with zero system dependencies beyond Zig.
Use cases
- build a cross-platform game in zig
- render graphics with a zig gpu toolkit
- make a desktop or mobile gui app in zig
- cross-compile a game to windows linux and macos
- replace sdl or raylib with a zig-native windowing layer
- build real-time visualizations
When to choose
- you want to write games or graphics apps in Zig
- you need effortless cross-compilation to any OS
- you want zero system dependencies and a fast setup
- you prefer modular components over a monolithic engine
When to avoid
- you need a mature, stable engine with a full editor like Unity or Godot
- your project requires stable APIs that won't change
- you don't want to use Zig or track its nominated versions
