Zig Cross-platform bindings and wrapper for SDL

Zig SDL

A bindings and wrapper library for SDL. It's purpose is to reflect the SDL library as much as possible and not differ from the original API with the minimum overhead.

Installation

You can simply fetch it with zig fetch --save=zsdl https://github.com/Darkfllame/ZSDL/archive/<commit>.tar.gz and replacing <commit> by a commit hash or a branch name (i.e: main) to have the latest commit of the specified branch.

After fetching the library, you'll need to add:

const zsdl_dep = b.dependency("zsdl", .{
    .target = target,
    .optimize = optimize,
    // optional, default: false. Whether to dynamically link SDL.
    .shared = flase,
    // optional, default: .bindings. Which API to use (bindings, wrapper).
    // bindings are currently fully functional for purely rendering. wrapper WIP
    .libType = .bindings,
});

exe.root_module.addImport("zsdl", zsdl_dep.module("zsdl"));

I made so that, if you're dynamically linking SDL, it will automatically install it into the output folder so you don't need to worry about that.

Quick note: fetching the package will take forever, and i know but i couldn't figure out how to compile SDL from source with zig, yeah ik, skill issue right ?
