Qoa.jai: A translation of the QOA reference implementation from C to Jai.

Qoa.jai # QOA is a neat lossy audio format that’s fast and pretty simple. I recommend reading the post introducing the format for details of it’s design and reason for being developed. Components # This project consists of a core module Qoa.jai and two example programs: qoaplay and qoaconv . Source code Snapshots taken from my internal SVN depot are pushed to a public git repo on…

wpak: A fun way to bundle audio for your game project.

As initially introduced on the blog as Wavpacker , I spent about half of December ‘25 expanding on the idea and rebuilding this as wpak which consists of a set of Jai modules in addition to a cli tool. Part of that redesign involved also trying to release this on it’s own on sourcehut . It should be easier for folks to find this way. If you felt like contributing to this, that’s…

UXN#

“uxn-sharp” is my work in progress UXN implementation for dotnet… I’ll update this page soon as I prepare some posts to go over my implementation as I develop it. I’m primarily building this in a private repo, but regularly sync to a public repo . The project is MIT licensed.

Ziege: The Friendly Zig Launcher

I created Ziege to allow me to have a single zig binary on my path ( zls as well) that can delegate all commands to a specific toolchain version. It was also a fun way to get aquainted with Zig in general. You can clone the source from here .
