- are there tutorials for code organization for games in C?

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.

People who make IF games: what do you love/hate about the engine you use?
It looks like you are describing the Instead Engine and some additional modules to it.

How would you all improve IF (discussion)?
I think it will be clearer from the documentation.

Have people here tried building there world as a text based adventure game?
Well, I read this - https://github.com/instead-hub/instead/blob/master/doc/stead3-en.md Creating a game through the modelling of the world.

Is there a fun way to learn programming?

Making an SCP text based adventure - Any suggestions?
For example INSTEAD Engine - docs, game examples.

I am making and Undertale text-based adventure game
Huh, this is a task for an advanced programmer. But. You can take a ready-to-use engine for text games if your task is to make the game, and not to learn a programming language. For example: Instead Engine - docs, game example (download, play online)
-
Trying to make a class system for a text based game, is this a good way to do it or is there a better way (I'm a noob with classes)
I think you should look into a text-based game engine that already has all the classes you need to implement. For example Instead Engine. The documentation for this engine gives a good idea of the required framework. In addition, the minimal console implementation of this engine contains only 100 lines of code.
