# ziglings
|
|
|
|
Welcome to `ziglings`. This project contains a series of incomplete exercises.
|
|
By completing the exercises, you learn how to read and write
|
|
[Zig](https://ziglang.org/)
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
This project was directly inspired by the brilliant and fun
|
|
[rustlings](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings)
|
|
project for the [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) language.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
_Note: This currently uses a shell (Bash) script to automate the "game". A
|
|
future update may remove this requirement. See TODO below._
|
|
|
|
Install the [master release](https://ziglang.org/download/) of the Zig compiler.
|
|
|
|
Verify the installation and version of `zig` like so:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ zig version
|
|
0.7.1+<some hexadecimal string>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Clone this repository with Git:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/ratfactor/ziglings
|
|
cd ziglings
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run the `ziglings` script and follow the instructions to begin!
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./ziglings
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Manual Usage
|
|
|
|
If you can't (or don't want to) use the script, you can manually verify each
|
|
exercise with the Zig compiler:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
zig run 01_hello.zig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
Contributions are very welcome! I'm writing this to teach myself and to create
|
|
the learning resource I wished for. There will be tons of room for improvement:
|
|
|
|
* Wording of explanations
|
|
* Idiomatic usage of Zig
|
|
* Additional exercises
|
|
* Re-write the `ziglings` script using the Zig build system (???)
|
|
|
|

|
* [x] Hello world (main needs to be public)
