Never been so excited to see blinking LED's

Took a bit of time to setup but I've successfully run my first embedded program in Zig. It's a simple program that blinks the LED's but I was pumping my fists in the air for a good five seconds. The smallest things can give…

Embedded programming time

This is something I've always wanted to do, but never did anything about. Probably because did not know where to start. Recently I came across Micro Zig which was the push I needed to finally commit to it. Mainly because it narrowed the hardware for me. I'…

One step at a time

Rendering text into a window

Till about three weeks ago, I had no idea about raylib. Now I'm absolutely loving it. To be fair I had no idea about how text actually got rendered on the screen, how fonts worked and so on. Did you know that font files (.ttf) have actual curves…
