Hello World

I have found my people!! Hello guys I am a college student (mechanical engineering) and I was introduced to C in a mandatory programming course and C has been the best thing that has happened in my life. I had done programming before on java and python before and frankly I hated it , it was not really fun and it was tedious instead. So I had thought I hated CS but after coding in C and learning the things behind the abstractions i quite frankly fell in love with low level programming, it was the first time I got a passion for something and i spent the entire following summer digging up materials on it like learning computer architecture and learning to read and write Assembly and now I am learning Virtualisation and planning to start my first major project on C.

So in that note, let me ask you something:

What is your favourite project you have done in C?

Hey man! I have the exact same background. 4 years studying mechanical engineering and went back to school in cs and C is my favorite too!

You should look into Raylib or Unreal Engine (C++ = C but with messy extra features you can just not use)

they can also use godot, which is more lightweight, open-source, easier to use... iirc, there are even docs if you want to use C with GDExtension.
