You can do something like this, but way less polished and stick to one platform: https://github.com/tsherif/space-shooter.c/tree/master

Podcast: Modern C for Absolute Beginners
Otherwise study real, mature, well-written C programs. There's a wealth of techniques and tricks that aren't really documented anywhere, but rather picked up from others. Recommendations off the top of my head: BSD utilities, musl, and SQLite. Or simply study the source for your favorite C software. Also, something good posted here recently: The Architecture of space-shooter.c.

space-shooter.c: A cross-platform, top-down 2D space shooter written in C using only system libraries
I wrote space-shooter.c as a personal challenge to create a game from start to finish in C without using any 3rd-party libraries and wanted to share the source as a reference for anyone who's also interested in this type of game programming. The source code is heavily-commented, and I'm also writing a (still WIP) architecture guide that goes over the design decisions and details I learned about working with OS APIs in C: https://github.com/tsherif/space-shooter.c/blob/master/ARCHITECTURE.md

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.
