Do like playing video games? I know I do; in fact, I enjoy it so much that I learned how to make video games. So, for a recent course Iām taking in school for open-source development I decided to focus on Raylib. Raylib describes itself as āa simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.ā Written in pure c with bindings for almost any other programming language such as c++, Rust, and Python. It is a flexible tool which can work in almost any environment.

Thanks! This is loading just the demo assets, but I got the Emscripten support merged into upstream ioquake3 so you can check out the code, build it yourself, and with the right asset files you can play the full game, Team Arena, mods, or whatever.

I'm working on a game for Amiga (another 68k-based platform) and settled on ZX0 to decompress assets on the fly: https://github.com/einar-saukas/ZX0
I was originally using LZ4, but I switched to ZX0 after learning that it can do in-place decompression, which means I don't have to allocate separate memory for the compressed data. I'm very happy with the compression ratio, and decompression of large assets (~48kb) only takes a few frames on a 7MHz 68000.
Also of note is LZ4W, included in Sega Genesis Dev Kit (and discussed in the comments section of OP's article), a variant of LZ4 that only uses word-aligned operations. That makes it much faster on the 68000, which can struggle to efficiently handle 8-bit data. More info here: https://github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK/blob/master/bin/lz4w.txt
