Three Dynamic Array Implementations : Template-Macro, Void Pointer , Fat Pointer
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.

EVERGLORY - my one-man open-source passion project RTS - gets a new trailer and a Linux demo!
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.

Devlog about my C99 own-engine RTS - Projectile Simulation + Target Finding for Large Crowds
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

100k members! To celebrate, what is your favorite piece of C code you have written?
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.

Source code for Quake 2 rerelease
> Glad to see the source code released!
In case you were unaware, this is actually the source code of the rerelease of Quake II. The source code for the original Quake II has been released for many years[0], along with many of the id Software classics[1].

- Someone dropped the source code for Far Cry 1 on archive.org
- I fully support this.

What are some source codes to have read, and why?
I really enjoyed reading the Quake and Quake 2 source code, personally https://github.com/id-Software/Quake-2
- Ask HN: What piece of code/codebase blew your mind when you saw it?

What would you have gotten once you licensed the Quake engine in the late 90s?
Does ID provide you the full source code (as it is now on Github)?
- What was the "old," way of doing 3D graphics before shaders? (fixed function pipelines and such)
- are there tutorials for code organization for games in C?
- Interesting Halo 3 script comments.

If you license your code as GPL, and Assets as CC-BY-NC-SA, what license do you then use for the compiled binary?
There's nothing stopping your from putting your code under GPL and your assets under copyright (no permissive license) or public domain. Code and assets don't need to be under the same license. See how id did it:
