TerrainZigger: A Beginner's 3D Terrain Generator in Zig

Hello Zig community! 👋 I'm excited to share my first Zig project with you all. As a newcomer to the language, I've been working on a learning project called TerrainZigger, and I'd love to get your feedback and suggestions.

What is TerrainZigger?

TerrainZigger is a simple 3D terrain generator built with Zig and rendered using Raylib. Here's what it can do:

• Generate procedural 3D terrain
• Render the terrain in real-time using Raylib
• Provide basic camera controls for exploration
• Simulate a water level for added visual interest
• Regenerate new terrain on keypress or mouse click

Key Features

1. Procedural Terrain Generation: The heart of TerrainZigger is its ability to create unique landscapes on the fly.
2. Raylib Integration: Leveraging Raylib for rendering, providing a smooth visual experience.
3. Interactive Exploration: Basic camera controls allow you to navigate and explore the generated terrain.
4. Dynamic Regeneration: Easily create new terrains with a simple input, perfect for testing and tweaking generation parameters.
5. Water Simulation: A basic water level adds depth and variety to the generated landscapes.

Learning Goals

As a Zig beginner, I aimed to:

• Understand Zig's syntax and unique features
• Explore memory management in a practical context
• Learn how to integrate external libraries (Raylib) with Zig
• Implement basic 3D graphics and user interaction
