Has anyone got any good resources for something like this? I haven't touched C in years, and never worked on anything game-like. But it does look like a really interesting project to start something like this.
- anatoly 8mo agoraylib is one possible starting place. Also might look at dos-like (https://mattiasgustavsson.itch.io/dos-like https://mattiasgustavsson.itch.io/dos-like).

- krapp 8mo agoHandmade Hero is a bad idea for anyone wanting to learn how to make a game in C or C++. Casey intentionally avoids using standard libraries and frameworks and his irrational hatred of high-level code and modern standards will lead developers astray and waste their time. Even if you're using C you don't need to implement your own renderer or do half the things he does. Get a library like SDL3 to handle the basics, maybe use Lua/LuaJIT for scripting. Learn OpenGL or Vulkan. Stay away from HH and Casey Muratori until you're experienced enough to tell the difference between his wisdom and his bullshit.
