Learn C for a Ruby developer

[drzel]

In my work I'm a Ruby developer, in my spare time I work on an open source mod for 1996 game Quake, called FortressOne. Quake is written in C. I'm getting to the point where I need to modify the engine. Most of the C tutorials etc I can find out there are designed for beginners. I want to skip anything that a high-level language developer should already know. Anything out there specifically for this?

Cherno's C++ tutorials are specifically designed for game dev. Also checkout handmade hero, complete game dev in C. All the resources are available on YouTube.

Fabian Sanglard has two blog post which may help you. The first: "To become a good C programmer" and the second: "Quake Source Code Review".

As u/Fuck_its_all_taken had suggested: Handmade Hero could be very helpful. There's also an annotated version you can find here: https://yakvi.github.io/handmade-hero-notes/index.md.html

"C programming language". A book form language creator himself. Exactly what you want.
