This seems cool, doesn't run on zig 0.11 or 0.10.1

[jeffbdavenport]

I wanted to check this out, but doesn't run on windows 10.

I get closest with zig 0.11, when I build I get:

$ zig build

Declaration does not seem to have a field called is_pub, so if I comment out that line it builds, but when I run it I get a white screen for a millisecond and it crashes with this output:

How can I get it to run?

[foxnne]

Hi! Thanks for checking it out and giving it a shot. I haven't fully updated is as nightly just got some changes that my dependencies haven't gotten yet. I have it currently running using zig 0.11.0-dev.3986+e05c242cd if you can track it down, and as soon as zig-gamedev updates to latest I'll update this project. I don't have a Win10 machine to test right now but it runs fine for me on Windows 11.

if you can track it down, and as soon as zig-gamedev updates to latest I'll update this project. I don't have a Win10 machine to test right now but it runs fine for me on Windows 11.

Hi @foxnne! Zig-gamedev is now updated to work with zig 0.11.0-dev.4332. So you can probably update now.

[jeffbdavenport]

Thanks guys! I will try this very soon

[jeffbdavenport]

Just tried with the build 0.11.0-dev.3986+e05c242cd and below is the result for me. Still just a blank white screen for a split second

Thanks for the update!

When you cloned the project, did you clone with --recursive? The assets folder is a submodule, and it looks like it's unable to find the atlas file. Please verify that the assets folder is present and has the files in it :) If not, run git submodule update --init.

The assets folder also uses git LFS, I'm unsure if that's a requirement to clone the project correctly?

[kamidev]

@foxnne, are the zig-gamedev libraries in src/deps updated to the latest? Some breaking zig changes were fixed as late as today.

[foxnne]

@kamidev No, last update from zig-gamedev I pushed into this project was 5 days ago, however, I'm currently running the project just fine on the zig version mentioned above. I will update this project's dependencies and everything to latest soon, just was hoping to wait long enough for mach to catch up as my other project uses that and I didn't want to juggle versions.

[foxnne]

But it looks like the issue here is FileNotFound and the other errors are leaks reporting from gpa when the program crashed from not finding the atlas file.

[kamidev]

I understand completely. Everything will probably be easier after the final zig 0.11 is released later this week.

Zig-gamedev builds and all tests pass using the latest zig as of today. And I know the Mach gang is working really hard to get on top of the latest zig, too. Perhaps the best thing to do is wait until this weekend?

[kamidev]

That said, the reported issue with assets may be unrelated to zig version. I just tried building a fresh clone of aftersun recursively, with Git LFS installed. The build failed with errors in zig-gamedev libraries that were not updated - no surprise there. But fetching the assets worked just fine.

[foxnne]

Thank you for the info! I'll let @jeffbdavenport confirm he has the assets folder, but hopefully its just a missing assets folder from not using --recursive, I know I forget to use that all too often. As soon as I'm unblocked from updating zig I'll get both Pixi and Aftersun updated to latest, I just am still working on both projects and using Pixi to update artwork for Aftersun so it would be a pain to have them not in sync. Usually mach is pretty quick to update so I wouldn't be surprised if I get to update everything tonight.

[kamidev]

Thank you! I am looking forward to play a little with both Aftersun and Pixi once things have settled down a bit. BTW - it's really cool to hear that you are using Pixi for Aftersun artwork.

[foxnne]

@kamidev by the way, if you ever want to give Pixi a shot, Aftersun is a great example of the workflow. Just run Pixi and open the Aftersun/assets folder. You'll have access in src to all the unpacked source art files. Then just navigate to the Packer tab and press Pack. You'll get a preview of the whole projects packed atlas, and can export it to the images asset folder.

If any of the packing changes the exported atlas data, there is a zig build option to "Process assets" which will update the generated zig code and get it all working in the game. It's a decently smooth workflow and I'd love to hear your opinion on Pixi's workflow and if anything would be better done another way :)

[foxnne]

Thank you! I am looking forward to play a little with both Aftersun and Pixi once things have settled down a bit. BTW - it's really cool to hear that you are using Pixi for Aftersun artwork.

Thank you! I really started out building Pixi just to use for this project but I think it might end up being helpful for others so I'm trying to polish it as much as possible and use this project as a reference to make the workflow as easy as possible. Dealing with tons of sprites can be a real headache.

[jeffbdavenport]

I tested it out, you were right, I just needed to clone the assets and everything works. This is well done so far! Personally I'm not a big fan of the camera movement, but everything else is great

[foxnne]

Thanks! Glad it worked! I'm still trying to just get all the rendering pipelines right still. I do need to rework the camera movement.
