This is a workaround for a limitation right now. The html-generator has no way to dynamically add JS sources (and that can't be done without using a preprocessor library) so we hardcode js-runtime in it. In the future, I think the correct behavior would be to move tools/ inside js-runtime along with a wasm application building SDK and get rid of any direct JS access we have today (which is just src/platform/wasm.zig and src/platform/mach.js). |

Mach: game engine & graphics toolkit for the future
Written in Zig, Mach is for creating games, graphical applications, and desktop/mobile apps:
- Data-driven, tooling oriented
- Composable
- Competitive with Unity and Unreal in spirit (a fully fledged editor in the future, etc.)
Cross-platform graphics in ~60 seconds
git clone https://github.com/hexops/mach
cd mach/
zig build run-example-boids
Cross-platform graphics, a unified shader language & compute shaders.
(Requires zig 0.10.x | known issues)
Libraries
Mach has many libraries you can use for game development in Zig - you don't have to use the entire engine. All our libraries aim to have the same zero-fuss installation, cross compilation, and platform support:
- mach-glfw: Ziggified GLFW bindings with 100% API coverage
- mach-freetype: Ziggified Freetype 2 & HarfBuzz bindings
- mach-gpu-dawn: Google's Dawn WebGPU implementation, cross-compiled with Zig into a single static library
- mach-system-sdk: More libraries for cross-compilation with Zig

Sponsor development
No, it’s not Tom from myspace - it’s me, @slimsag! It’s taken almost a year to get here - staring at broken CI pipelines, C++ compiler errors, buying hardware to test every OS+arch possible, and more.
There are few things in life that I am more serious about than this work. I dedicate ~48 hours/week to my dayjob, and ~50h/week to Zig building Mach and running zigmonthly.org. After three years of aggressively pushing for progress in this exact way, I have no plans to slow down anytime soon.
Supported platforms
Mach is still early stages, so far we have support for building from the following OS to the following targets:
| Building for | From macOS x86_64 | From macOS M1/aarch64 | From Linux x86_64 | From Windows x86_64 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| macOS x86_64 | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| macOS M1/aarch64 | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Linux x86_64 | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Windows x86_64 | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| iOS | 🏃 | 🏃 | 🏃 | 🏃 |
| Android | 🏃 | 🏃 | 🏃 | 🏃 |
| Web (Wasm) | 🏃 | 🏃 | 🏃 | 🏃 |
- ✅ Tested and verified via CI.
- ✔️ Should work, not tested via CI yet.
- 🏃 Planned or in progress.
- ⚠️ Implemented, but has known issues (e.g. bugs in Zig.)
Supported Zig version
Mach targets Zig nightly, binary releases are available at https://ziglang.org/download
Currently tested with: 0.10.0-dev.2439+c84f5a5f9
Contributing
Mach is maintained as a monorepo. When changes are merged to this repository, we use some git-fu to pick out the commits to subdirectories and push them to sub-repositories automagically. Changes to the glfw/ directory in this repository get pushed to the separate mach-glfw repository after being merged here, for example.
Please prefix commits / pull requests with the project name (glfw: fix an issue, gpu: fix an issue, examples: fix an issue, etc.) and if possible only one project per commit. If you don't know how to do this, no worries, we can help - just send your PR anyway!
