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.

Q3 source port help
The bigger thing is that you need to build the binaries (game files like .exe and .dll) yourself off ioQuake3's GitHub. If you're not a programmer, and/or you're lazy, it's easier to grab the files off Quake3e's GitHub instead.

Making Quake From Scratch?
The source code for all of the Quake games is available on GitHub. They are the original source releases, but you might prefer to use a source port which implements more up-to-date platform abstractions (like SDL), supports 64-bit, and doesn't contain any assembly code. I'd recommend ioquake3.
