ncurses-zl

This folder contains a full ncurses wrapper for ZLang and demo programs.

Contents

• ncurses-full.h — original C header used as source
• ncurses.zl — auto-generated wrapper
• demos/lane_dodge.zl — 2D lane dodge demo
• demos/starfield2d.zl — 2D animated starfield demo
• demos/raycast3d.zl — 3D ASCII raycasting demo

How wrapper was generated

The wrapper is generated automatically by the built-in ZLang command:

zlang wrap-clang ncurses-full.h -o ncurses-zl/ncurses.zl -- -I/usr/include

The wrap-clang pipeline preprocesses the header with clang and performs ABI-aware wrapper generation so C library usage in ZLang stays close to C-level APIs.

Build and run demos

From repository root:

zlang ncurses-zl/demos/lane_dodge.zl ncurses-zl/ncurses.zl
./output

zlang ncurses-zl/demos/starfield2d.zl ncurses-zl/ncurses.zl
./output

zlang ncurses-zl/demos/raycast3d.zl ncurses-zl/ncurses.zl
./output

If std modules are not globally installed yet, use:

ZSTDPATH=/home/hedgegod/zig/zlang/stdlib zlang ncurses-zl/demos/raycast3d.zl ncurses-zl/ncurses.zl
./output
