I use Linux
Sort of hypothetical, of course. I just happen to collect old computer hardware and I like to see how old of a system I can compile one of my C projects for. But I bet it’s a requirement for many large software projects as well.

FOVO: A new 3D rendering technique based on human vision

I feel like flying
Not sure if my long-time renderer project conforms to the suckless ethos. It’s 5 years old, ~8kloc, written in C99 and tries to go about things the simplest way possible. I do kind of pride myself on how much stuff I manage to remove from it as I slowly build it out to be more versatile.
What are some alternatives?
