How to build a 3D APL Game with raylibAPL
summary
Builds a 3D prototype called ArrayLab using raylibAPL, plus a 2D FlappyBird clone finished in ~6 hours. Implements a model loader, a box-based collision system and a physics engine rewritten four times to handle gravity, sliding and 1,000+ model slowdowns. Packages demos as Linux AppImage and Windows .exe, adds CI/TATA packaging, and fixes Unicode pointer and input-threading bugs; macOS runs only with HTML renderer disabled due to main-thread GPU constraints.
