tetris

Thanks for the link! I am going to look more into rg3d, but the C99 engine is interesting to me, because I use Raylib[0] for my C gamedev explorations. I will never fully leave C, because I will be dead before C is fully, or largely, displaced by the likes of Rust or another PL. I have also been playing with Zig, and there is a Tetris demo done by Andrew Kelley the creator of Zig, but no game engine I know of yet [1,2].

This is a tetris clone made in zig https://github.com/andrewrk/tetris I bit hard to follow without the syntax highlighting, but seems a good example of what a larger application would look like.

Maybe easier integration with existing C libraries? They give an example of a tetris clone in Zig. This is how they include GLFW with Zig: https://github.com/andrewrk/tetris/blob/master/src/c.zig and all other locations in the project just import this c.zig file. In contrast in Rust, I think you have to actually declare all the functions you want to use from a C library. For example: https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/glfw-rs/blob/master/src/....

What exactly does the author mean by "C/C++ compatible"? Because my language[1] just got the ability to directly include .h files and access to the functions and symbols therein. Small snippet[2]: c_import { @c_include("GLFW/glfw3.h"); @c_include("stdlib.h"); @c_include("stdio.h"); } I realize this probably comes across as trying to one-up another person's work but I just got this working a few minutes ago and I'm really excited to demo it!

Check out this snippet[3] > Note that there is no #include line in the source file. The ZL prelude includes some of the more common functions from the C standard library and ZL source files are not
