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.

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.

Don't waste money on a math coprocessor they said;
K5/Cyrix could overlap Integer and FPU operations, what they couldnt do was interleave (pipeline) FPU operations so that multiple floating point instructions ran in parallel.

Honestly don't understand why people keep buying from them
Quake seriously wasn't any more complicated. The only thing about Quake that really made it stand out was its 3D engine which, while revolutionary for its time, was basically stone-age technology by modern standards.

You can also read this very old CPMA code that reimplements bunny hopping into Quake 3, a link I'm able to dig up because I have also been playing since literally the first one came out.

I checked this out too, https://github.com/id-Software/Quake expands to a 12.3MB directory for me (excluding .git/, which is another 3MB or so).
