The goal of this project is to create a small game in Zig, both as a learning opportunity and a proof-of-concept, to see Zig would be a good language to stick with for future game development needs.
It would also be a good learning opportunity to learn lower-level concepts such as graphics and audio APIs, and ECS implementation.

- Files with underscores as names (e.g.
_.zig) will be known as exporters. These serve as the entrypoints of a directory that expose its public contents. This should have nothing in it except a list ofpub const <name> = @import("<file>");. This is as opposed tomain.zigwhich may contain functionalities.
