# Alka

Game engine written in zig, compatible with **zig version 0.8.0**.

This engine does provide a toolset for you but generally you have to implement how they work and how should be.

For example if you want to use `GUI`, well you can and engine provides a tool for you but you have to implement how 

`elements` behave, draw, etc. There is no `ButtonElement` or `TextBox`, only `Element`. Same goes for the `ECS` too.

-----

You may need these packages to compile the engine(tested on ubuntu 21.04)

`libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxi-dev libgl-dev`
