permafrost-engine VS Craft

Yea, bit annoying to do that, especially in a large project some vectors need to be static some need to be exposed in the API. In my mind the best solution is to add another macro parameter that lets the user change the function scope on the fly. See the vector used in the permafrost engine (a fellow redditor); when I first saw how he wrote his template macros it was a game changing trick.

And the source code for the engine is here on GitHub. I've written like 75k SLOC of C for it. It's a pretty general-purpose RTS engine that could be used for a lot of things - full conversions, remakes of classics, other RTS/citybuilder/ARPG games, and more. It has a Python scripting API for the top-level gameplay logic.

BTW, the engine is fully open-source. So if you want to take a deep dive into the code, it's here: https://github.com/eduard-permyakov/permafrost-engine

I'm into my third year of writing my own RTS game engine in C. Complete with OpenGL rendering, group pathfinding of 1k+ entities, Python scripting, yada, yada, yada.

Here’s the original code: https://github.com/fogleman/Craft/blob/master/src/world.c I don’t really have an “after” because I edited it a lot and didn’t backup the original, but try it yourself and you should get similar results. I also told it to make the variable names better.

When this subject comes up, I always like to link to one of the many Minecraft clones written in C. https://github.com/fogleman/Craft

Not java but https://github.com/fogleman/Craft will give you an idea of what has to be done.
