Build a cross-platform game or graphical app in Zig without maintaining separate code for each target platform.
Use only the specific graphics or input modules you need from Mach, skipping the parts of the engine you don't.
Develop high-performance visual tools or desktop GUIs using a lightweight alternative to larger game engines.
Requires Zig toolchain installation, main development happens outside GitHub so documentation and latest builds are on an external site.
Mach is a game engine and graphics toolkit written in Zig, a relatively new programming language aimed at performance and simplicity. The project is built for people making games, visual applications, and desktop or mobile graphical interfaces who want their software to run across different platforms without needing separate codebases for each one. The engine is designed around modularity, meaning you can use only the parts you need rather than taking on the full framework. The README is brief and points to an external website for documentation, tutorials, and deeper details. The GitHub repository is described as a mirror of the main development repository hosted elsewhere, so it exists mainly for visibility and discoverability rather than being the primary place where work happens. The project has an active community on Discord where contributors and users discuss development, ask questions, and get help. The community explicitly welcomes everyone. Because the README is short and directs most information to an external site, the specifics of how the engine is structured, what graphics backends it supports, and what platforms it targets are not fully described here. What the README does convey is that the goals are high performance, cross-platform support, and a modular design that does not force developers to adopt more than they need.
