Odin + Raylib Example

This isn't a game, it's a sandbox. I'm tire-kicking Odin and Raylib. 🥰

Things To Learn

• basic odin'ing
• basic raylib'ing
• tests in odin
• structuring a basic game

• basic sprite animations
• save/load game (json is fine)
• tilemap

Screenshots

Running

You should have odin installed.

To run the app, odin run src

If you use mise, you can run mise run r.

Mousities

left click - moves a dot
right click - shuffles (with a cooldown)

Hotkeys

q = quit
p = pause
s = save
l = load
/ = console

Struggles and Questions

• Debugging - I use print statements, which sucks in a game loop. How do real people do this?
• Allocation anxiety. Specifically around strings. I kinda don't want to use buffers [256]byte to hold them. 🤷‍♂️
• Performance anxiety. It goes fast (138-ish FPS) but I don't know how many draw calls or where the hotspots are.
• Testing ui. How do / Should I test my draw_* procs?
• Testing with the uses of using to merge in the main package scope.
