# Starting your raylib project with Zig (0.16.0)
## How to compile and run it
To compile the project:
```sh
zig build
```
To run the project:
```sh
zig build run
```
## Compile with different optimization
To change from debug to release build you can do it with the `-Doptimze=` flag.
```
Debug
ReleaseSafe
ReleaseFast
ReleaseSmall
```
## Choose a different platform
To compile with a different platform you can use the `-Dplatform=` flag.
Here all the options:
```
glfw
rgfw
sdl
sdl2
sdl3
memory
win32
drm
android
```
In this example the platform `sdl` and `sdl2` are not supported
Important for the android platform you also have to compile for the right target
## Compile for a different target
To compile for a different [target](https://ziglang.org/download/0.16.0/release-notes.html#Support-Table) you can use the `-Dtarget=` flag.
Not all targets are supported
## Example: Compile for web and run it
To compile for the web we use emscripten and you run it like that:
```sh
zig build -Dtarget=wasm32-emscripten
```
To run it we do:
```sh
zig build run -Dtarget=wasm32-emscripten
```
And to make a relase build we do:
```sh
zig build -Dtarget=wasm32-emscripten -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
```
If we want to use rgfw for the web build we could do:
```sh
zig build -Dplatform=rgfw -Dtarget=wasm32-emscripten -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
```
## Compiling the Zig code? Just add `-Dzig` and try out zig ;)
