Over-engineered university project

Hyper-Realistic Flight Simulator

A game made for fun and also as an university project. Coded in Zig using almost no libraries (except system APIs and included stb_image).

How To Build

Download Zig version 0.9.1 (https://ziglang.org/download/) (version does matter!)
Run zig build -Drelease-fast run to compile and run the app
You can remove -Drelease-fast for a debug build, or remove run to just compile it (the executable is in zig-out/bin)
If you want to run the executable, you have to run it alongside the assets folder
NOTE: Only Linux and Windows 64bit are supported and decent GPU is required

Controls

W,S,A,D - control the plane
F - toggle headlights
E - toggle camera orientation
scrolling - change camera position

Objective

I've placed presents in the capital cities. Fly over them with the plane to collect them. There's a progress bar at the bottom of the screen.
