Running

From the project root (where odin-linux-amd64-nightly+2026-03-03/ lives):

# Run directly
./odin-linux-amd64-nightly+2026-03-03/odin run odin_fishing_game \
    -extra-linker-flags:"-lraylib -lGL -lm -lpthread -ldl -lrt -lX11"

# Or build first
chmod +x odin_fishing_game/build.sh
./odin_fishing_game/build.sh
cd odin_fishing_game && ./fishing_game

Note: Raylib must be installed system-wide. On Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt install libraylib-dev

Or build from source: https://github.com/raysan5/raylib

Adding Your Own 3D Models

1. Export your fish model as .glb
2. Drop it in odin_fishing_game/fishes/
3. Update fish.json — set "model_path" to "fishes/your_fish.glb"

The game falls back to a colorful procedural fish shape if no model file is found.

fish.json Format

{
  "fishes": [
    {
      "name": "My Fish",
      "rarity": "Common",
      "probability": 0.30,
      "model_path": "fishes/my_fish.glb",
      "color": [0.7, 0.5, 0.2],
      "scale": 0.8
    }
  ]
}

Probabilities should sum to 1.0. color is RGB in [0..1] range and is used as a tint on the 3D model as well as the procedural fallback mesh.
