Trailing commas have always been ignored in structs or arrays in #C (#C99 I am looking at).
This reminds me that I had unlearned this because #JavaScript didn't have it. And now I am questioning if C has it, even though this was where I had learned it loooong time ago.
🤔

The #C99 preprocessing seems a good idea at first sight. But tbh it brings a lot of burden too. For example every `#include ...` statement is basically a copy+paste of the header file replacing the `#include` statement. Which means a included file provides all included files too. There is no real file or module wide scoping for preprocessed stuff.

modern languages (designs) ftw!

I have to say, the web programming had taught me to not like for-loops a lot anymore, but working with #C99 during the day I have to do that a lot. And I find myself a lot asking ChatGPT to offer some more elegant solutions. I guess I am waiting for map functions ;).

what the actual heck! #zig can #crosscompile #c99 out of the box!? https://andrewkelley.me/post/zig-cc-powerful-drop-in-replacement-gcc-clang.html

@himbeer no kink shaming! Some of us even read the #C99 spec in bed as #erotica.

Ok, got a properly scrolling tilemap with render window.

Now, to build a correct fixed time step game loop WITHOUT the occasional frame skipping when the accumulator increment is just slightly bigger than time delta...

Speaking of overengineering, I just built a small content processor in the vein of XNA content pipeline: it processes a content directory, creating one single bundle file with processed data for each asset and a content table.

The loader supports asset reference counting and cleans up automatically upon closing the content bundle.

Supports PNG and a very small subset of LDTK for now.

I had way too much fun doing this 😬

@ChristosArgyrop Building #Perl already requires a subset of #C99 and will take advantage of others if your compiler has them, per https://metacpan.org/dist/perl/view/INSTALL

> dimension generic rendering _

hept, my custom C99 engine, has a dimension-independent "mesh" structure, allowing for 2D, 3D, and even 4D(?!) rendering - all using the same system, and all capable of being easily drawn at any time any where~

#c99 #gamedev

on my way home from work, I had a breakthrough in how I understand thread-safe variables.

and now I have a perfectly synced and thread-safe multi-core quaternion 2d/3d render engine! (notice how the timer in the console doesn't pause while the drawing is being paused!)

Speaking of #C99, probably one of the weirdest additions is the ability to use 'static' (and other type qualifiers) _inside_ the brackets of function array parameter declarations:

foo(int arr[static 42]) { ... }

Here 'static' means "at least 42 elements long". Other qualifiers define what type the array decays to.

I got the octree macro to work, a little tricky the recursive structs in C. Next is refactoring chunk systems (terrain gen, mesh building, etc), to work with octrees before I add collisions.

My current “dream” project for my spare time is a bare-metal #C standard library. You’d be able to configure a filesystem handler for stdio funcs, a callback to handle system(3) calls, etc. Drivers would be compiled into the app, etc. Basically a little #embedded #OperatingSystem whose API is exactly #C99. Think early #Xinu without multitasking.

I have no use case for this. I just find it fun to think about. Probably wouldn’t do device discovery except by maybe by parsing DeviceTree?

ウチの場合、2000年から 2018年までの #コミケ では、サークル参加１日で印刷費＋α の売り上げがあって、その後書店委託で黒字化、という出納が崩れませんでしたが、 #C99 以降は参加日だけでは印刷費は出ないですね…。
１日あたりの売り上げ冊数はコロナ禍前の３分の１から４分の１くらいに落ち込みました。
一般参加が抽選チケット制になったのが大きいと推察しています。

I've used #C99 as my default #cprogramming option for a while now. The first time I need a function per data type I'll try switch up to #C11 and use Generics.

Thanks for posting this!
There are still a lot of blind spots, so any help for completing this would be appreciated. Anybody interested, please drop me a line.
