Just stumbled over this minimal FPS template built in Zig on top of sokol, pretty neat :)
github.com/lizard-demon...
...and that's the nice thing about the Zig ecosystem, to check it out you just clone the project and do a `zig build run` and that usually 'just works' :)

Big thanks to @flohofwoe.bsky.social for sokol_app — made it easy to keep github.com/Geolm/onedraw examples small and clean, no extra dependencies. Super smooth setup. Only thing I couldn’t find was a way to create sRGB backbuffer on macOS (did I miss that in the docs?).

Has sokol been featured anywhere? Somehow the GH stars jumped from 8.9k to 9.1k overnight - I was keeping an eye on it for when it flips to 9.0k and now I missed it dammit :D

Hijong Park's Defender Patrol has been released! This game started as a "I'm going to make an MD500 game because nobody else will," and has evolved into a little battlefield with interactive cockpits and simlite realism. If you have a joystick, the helicopter is really fun to throw around.

A retrospective of my tech career - a work-focused autobiography, basically - feels a bit vain, but I'm hopeful that it is interesting or useful enough to justify that.

PSA: sokol_audio.h now has a backend for the PS Vita 🤪
Normally I wouldn't merge PRs that I cannot test or maintain myself, but in this case I made an exception because it's very little and very straightforward code:

Latest XCode+macOS can no longer debug C/C++ programs, but in turn I got a 'Apple Intelligence' button which I can't disable, yay? (who needs a debugger anyway when AI writes all the code right?)

Started to display the sizes of some common sokol-gfx structs in the sokol-gfx debug UI (just to keep aware of them and avoid accidential regressions).
The size difference between platforms with 64-bit pointers and 32-bit pointers (e.g. WASM) is surprisingly big.
