cglm VS Torque3D

It's too bad you are using C. If you were using C++, you could use teh fantastic GLM library, which implements the vector math stuff from GLSL as CPU/C++ code. you might want to have a look at CLGM: https://github.com/recp/cglm

There's cglm, but I don't know how good it is. Really though for hobby OpenGL stuff, it's going to be 3x3, 4x4, 1x4 matrices, so rolling one's own stuff is not that terrible, if it proves to be a bottleneck (probably won't), you can drop in some fancy SIMD bullshit later.

There is a cglm: repo

Check out https://github.com/recp/cglm I use it judiciously.

GLM and CGLM should probably be mentioned as well since you'll probably want a good linear algebra library if you are going with just a rendering library instead of a full game engine.

cglm has two options for representing a vector: using a struct and using an array. The default one is using an array, but I'm not seeing what are the benefits of using an array instead of a struct. When using an array, you need to use out parameters, which make the code much more ugly when doing multiple operations. Using a struct, I can simply return the struct from the function. The only advantage of using an array would be that it's easier to iterate through it, but I could do the same using structs like this

It has been a while since I've written any C so it's very likely I'm missing something very simple. But I'm using CGLM and I have this simple program:

https://github.com/recp/cglm is a C version of GLM

On a similar note, released games with open sourced code: https://osgameclones.com/?tag=official

https://torque3d.org was used on Airship Dragoon, Marble Blast Gold, Penny Arcade Adventures, Legions: Overdrive and descends from the original Tribes engine.

Hellbreaker, Bit Champs with https://u3d.io

And plenty of successful games with Ogre, including Torchlight: https://www.ogre3d.org/showcase

Torque 2D/3D: Didn't do too much digging around on this one, but both versions are MIT licensed like Godot, but it seems like the project is a little more mature, with built-in multiplayer support. Could be worth looking into as an alternative to Godot if you really want something with MIT licensing.

But from now on, I think I will abandon that, and continue with Torque3D engine : https://torque3d.org/

Torque3D- This one seems great for beginners, as it's free and open-source. The downside is, I'm not sure if it has enough features for complex projects or how secure it is.

Torque3D (the engine used to make Tribes 2, now open-source)

No lie, that overall looks a lot like a game done for a senior design project 15+ years ago using Garage Games' (now https://torque3d.org/) RTS kit.
