This is how I built my game and everything around it, from scratch, in C99. boc's (artist) ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/boc_maxima All of the code to the engine is open source: https://github.com/badacronym/river2D / https://codeberg.org/badacronym/river2D watch the development of this game in-depth here:    • Live Coding   and keep an eye out for livestreams over here(!) and on   / flymandi   join our discord!:   / discord   here's also the code to the image loader: https://github.com/badacronym/imgsurf / https://codeberg.org/badacronym/imgsurf Whatever you're asking about, here're my configs!: https://github.com/badacronym/dotfiles I've always wanted to do game development. But I've also always been frustrated with tools like unreal engine or unity or even godot, because I couldn't wrap my head around how things were implemented and how exactly they fit together, what check was made where and so on and so forth. So, I set out to make my own. My own everything.
