No actual games yet, just a few rendering tests. I suggest starting with something simple but actually playable, like a clone of Zero Wing.



If anyone thought this was an oddly specific remark (as I did), I looked it up. The 1989 Namco/Toaplan side-scrolling arcade shooter "Zero Wing" [1] is has two notable facts that make it a fun reference here:

1. It's the game from which the "all your base" meme comes.

2. The fighter craft that the player controls is called "the ZIG".

I cannot believe I had an opportunity to make an AYB reference in 2021 but here I am. The fact that nobody else had made one, or has made one, in reply to this post leaves me feeling old.

Move every ZIG; you know what you doing.
