Ziglings
Ziglings is an interactive coding course and tutorial designed to teach the Zig programming language. It functions as a test-driven learning tool that guides users through a sequence of incremental exercises to master language syntax and semantics.
The project provides a series of small, broken programs that learners must fix. Progress is achieved by modifying the code until it satisfies predefined requirements and passes associated automated tests.
The educational experience is supported by a shell-based test runner and local compiler execution to provide immediate feedback. It utilizes a file-based mapping system to organize the curriculum into a linear learning path.
