- a3camero 15y agoSorry, I don't. Are you interested in games? There are probably some good open source games you could try "modding". Probably some searching around on Sourceforge or Google would help you identify a project in your area(s) of interest.
- sea6ear 15y agoSome thoughts off the top of my head (hopefully accurate): - Do you use Vim? I believe it's written in C - Apache web server - written in C (I believe) - Mozilla Firefox - written in C++ These above would have the advantage that they might be programs you are already using, and thus somewhat familiar with. For something smaller: - Aspell is a clone of ispell that is written in C++ I believe they were looking for a new maintainer of the Windows port a while back. - Also, mongrel2 (by Zed Shaw) is a new web server written in C that seems well thought out. And since it is new, it may be more understandable than some of the larger programs above. Also, the ZeroMQ infrastructure that it uses seems interesting and useful to know about.

- eru 15y agoStick to C. Have you read K&R, yet?
