The main development repository for the zig-gamedev organization, containing Zig game development libraries and a large collection of sample applications. Samples demonstrate rendering (PBR, wgpu, DirectX 12), physics, audio, and GUI usage, and can target native platforms or the web via Emscripten.

Use cases

• build games in zig
• learn webgpu rendering with sample code
• zig graphics programming examples
• use a physics engine in zig
• compile zig game to webassembly with emscripten
• zig gui and audio demos
• directx 12 samples in zig

When to choose

• you write games or graphics applications in Zig and want maintained libraries plus runnable examples
• you want to learn modern GPU rendering (wgpu/D3D12) through working sample code
• you need cross-platform or web (Emscripten/WASM) targets for Zig graphics apps

When to avoid

• you need a full production-ready game engine with editor and asset pipeline out of the box
• your project is not in Zig
• you need guaranteed long-term API stability, as the libraries track a fast-moving Zig compiler
