Can 3D toon graphics be easy?

Check out the current working build!

Objective

• Make a simple renderer and game loop to test out mesh generation techniques in zig
• Have fun!

Building

Requires Zig 0.14

Currently on zig version 0.14.0-dev.1632+d83a3f174

zig build wasm

Release Build

The game won't run fast unless you build the wasm bundle on ReleaseFast, though this takes much longer to build

zig build wasm --release=fast

Custom Blender Export

• Ensure your blender is in the path ** Flatpak version currently doesn't work

blender triangle_wgpu_content/cube.blend --background --python .\tools\custom-gltf.py

This is automatically executed from the build script!

Zig->Typescript Node Types

zig run src/tool_game_build_type_definitions.zig

Future Development Directions

• Cat animations!
• Forest rendering would be really nice to try out, just to satisfy my personal interests
  • Just go full 3D since that can look the coolest, with a dense forest
  • Use that cool algorithm that I already know about
• Orthographic rendering would be cool because I can optimize it pretty strongly for low-end hardware and power concious devices like phones
• Loading in 3D models with multiple textures (diffuse, normal, rough-spec) and having a basic display for those models with maybe some cubemap lighting
