ZEngine

A basic game engine written in Zig. It's more of a basic foundation than anything.

Important notice

ZEngine is early in development. It may seem like an insanely tiny library, therefore it's impossible to get wrong. However, since this is a critical part of a game, despite its simplicity there is still so much it can improve. As such, expect breaking changes!

Also, ZEngine is specifically created for my own projects. It's MIT licensed for a reason - I have little care about what other people do with it, since I created it for my own use.

Features

• ECS using zig-ecs
• Separated state and behavior
  • Components define state, Systems define behavior
• multiple entity registries per application
  • This means, you can have multiple instances of your application, but still have a single rendering system.
• Fully modular - ZEngine is merely the framework for a more advanced custom solution to be built. Official modules are in separate repositories, so they are 100% optional.
  • This means you can use the official system, use someone elses, or just write your own!

Official systems

• None at the moment - you'll have to do mostly everything yourself

TODO:

• built-in serialization
  • automatic and explicit version forwarding
  • components can be excluded from serialization
