How would I structure a game engine in C that uses SDL2
Yes I have written a game in C/SDL2. It's 2,200 lines long. The Windows C code (actually easy to convert to Linux) is in the asteroids_ch48.zip file in https://github.com/David-H-Bolton/LearnC You'll need the sounds and graphics and have to install SDL2 on your PC.

Is C a decent programming language for small(ish) games?
I wrote an asteroids game in C with SDL2 about 2,200 lines. On Windows and Linux. It had aliens, ran at 60 fps, had pixel perfect collision detection and a high-score table. Source code is on GitHub( Windows version) and Linux. In both cases you need the chapter 48 files plus the graphics.zip and sounds.zip in the Windows folder.

Ast3r0id: My first ever game in C with SDL2
I too wrote an Asteroids game in C with SDL2. It's about 2,200 lines long and there's a Linux (compiled with clang) and Windows (compiled with Visual studio 2019) version. The Linux one The Windows one.

raylib vs SDL2 vs Allegro. Which would you recommend for simple games?
I wrote asteroids in C + SDL2 about 2,000 lines of code and that included high score table, and high speed pixel perfect collision detection. The code is here: Windows C source code (Visual Studio), or Linux C Source code (VS Code + clang). The chapter 48 has the full version; the other chapters are steps.

100k members! To celebrate, what is your favorite piece of C code you have written?
An asteroids game. 2,200 lines of C (with SDL2). Best bit is the collision detection which I devised; it's pixel perfect and runs at 60 fps. Windows source code is here (use the asteroids_ch48.zip file) https://github.com/David-H-Bolton/LearnC and Linux https://github.com/David-H-Bolton/LearnCOnLinux

There's also a 3D game, but that was co-authored with friends. It was also written a long time ago, so it may be a bit more messy.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing LearnC and cave9 you can also consider the following projects:
smenu - smenu started as a lightweight and flexible terminal menu generator, but quickly evolved into a powerful and versatile CLI selection tool for interactive or scripting use.
no - Source code for the no app
permafrost-engine - An OpenGL RTS game engine written in C
2n - 2048 clone for the console, written in C
tilck - A Tiny Linux-Compatible Kernel
hos-x86 - A simple Unix like operating system from scratch.
no - A silly, useless alternative to the well-known UNIX "yes" command
