Just pushed part 6 of my Zig + Raylib Pong series!
🎯 Fix paddle collision bug
🖋️ Improve score font size
🧼 Refactor score logic out of paddles

Lots of small cleanups before we add a pause menu next.

triangle devlog #1.3 is live!

Wrapped up the pause menu: working contact button, copyable config path, and final styling tweaks with DVUI. No logging toggle (yet) — maybe later.

triangle devlog #1.2 is up!

The pause menu’s coming together — buttons, version info, a copyable config
path, and a bit of styling with DVUI. Still simple, but coming together. 🎬

Part 5 of Pong in Zig is up!
This one adds a proper UI using dvui to finally show scores on screen 🎯

Includes:

- Game struct refactor
- DVUI integration
- Score rendering
- Feedback from ziggit.dev

Pong Part 4 is up 🎮

Some useful feedback from ziggit.dev led to a bunch of cleanups:
🧼 File naming
🛠️ Struct init
🎯 Collision fix
🧽 Logic refactors
📐 Resolution independence

Zig + Raylib, no engine

All of this.

New devlog’s up! I’m building a pause menu for *triangle*, my ARPG factory-builder in space — coded in Zig + Raylib with DVUI. Escape now opens a menu (instead of just quitting!).

Got tired of fixing GitHub links when moving files. Now hugo rewrites them to the commit the post was last edited. `link_commit` overrides it - because sometimes I need to update a post.

Automated syncing of YouTube descriptions from Hugo. built a tool (projector) to compare rendered output with frontmatter hashes, then update via the YouTube API.

Pong in Zig – Part 3 is up!
Edge collisions, scoring, and player input make it actually playable 🎉

Built with Zig + Raylib

Built a small Go lib to update md frontmatter without losing formatting. needed it for syncing YouTube descriptions from Hugo. preserves order & supports partial updates.

The ball moves! The paddles collide! The game begins to feel like a game.

In this episode:
• Ball movement
• Paddle collision detection
• Cleaner drawing logic
• Basic game loop structure

just published a post on generating youtube descriptions from hugo.

custom content type, plain text output, auto-linking between blog and video posts — made it much easier to keep things in sync.

🎮 I’m starting a “Let’s Code” series where I build a procedural ARPG in Zig with raylib.

I just put up a short intro video - early systems, and where it’s headed.

I’ll be sharing code-focused videos soon.

Just added user-configurable controls to my Zig game, triangle, using TOML + known-folders for cross-platform support. No GUI, no telemetry, all local.

I wanted loot in triangle to feel earned… so instead of dropping gear, enemies drop materials you smelt into upgrades.

It's basically an ARPG with factory dreams.

Everyone’s posting sick gifs and gorgeous screenshots for #screenshotsaturday and I… uh… made a triangle fly around in space and bump into rocks?

triangle is a physicsy ARPG set in space. It’s rough, janky, and nowhere near ready — but it’s alive!

Goddamn, change some of the names and numbers and I've got 4 of these.

Just posted a devlog for triangle!

A drifting triangle ship in an infinite asteroid field — with mouse rotation, real momentum, a camera that follows, and combat. Inspired by a coding challenge by thecodingtrain
