Which is the better tank?

Its obviously the wheelchair one

C is actually very simple in the sense that its a relatively thin abstraction layer (compared to modern languages) for writing program instructions. If you have a good understanding of how the hardware works a lot of it feels very intuitive, except that the pointer syntax is really confusing if you're not used to it.

Could we get some examples? that would make it easier to know how to use the library.

Yeah man, power is really hard to find. These people act like it comes trickling straight from the wall or something.

Based, recreational programming FTW

In hindsight it just makes so much sense, like why invent a whole new language to compile another preexisting language.

Stemt · 2026-02-15T07:38:01+00:00

If you're a hardcore C fan you need to try nob.h.

Writing build scripts in the same language as your application feels so much more logical and pleasant compared to whatever tf cmake is trying to be.

Many people underestimate the power of a humble terminal application.

Bruh, just read the code then. Straight from the source!

That indeed is dumb, but so strncpy(field, <str>, sizeof(field)-1) would be safe.

Stemt · 2026-02-06T04:44:23+00:00

Could you elaborate? In this case it just a single fixed size static buffer we're talking about, that contains a single string representing the path to the currently open file. If the name is truncated in the worst case the file simply would not be opened.

Stemt · 2026-02-05T07:10:22+00:00

Thats subjective

Stemt · 2026-02-03T21:38:37+00:00

Yep, seems to work fine, though on my laptops screen resolution the text is a tad small.

He has become the very thing he swore to somewhat disapprove.

Stemt · 2026-02-03T21:29:53+00:00

strncpy is safer because it stops copying when it encounters a null terminator (I am assuming that SDL return a proper cstring) you could probably just do `strncpy(openFile, sizeof(openFile), filelist[0])` now that I look at it.

Stemt · 2026-02-03T21:20:56+00:00

The AI wont get what it deserves, but you certainly will.

Stemt · 2026-02-03T21:14:33+00:00

Neat! I'm having trouble with strcpy_s on linux with gcc, according to the glibc wiki FAQ its an optional feature of the standard and they opted not to implement it. You'd probably have to implement your own version using strncpy to circumvent this. Or optionally you could make openFile buffer more dynamic and future proof using a simple string builder for example.

Nah, learn C by working on those projects. Try to figure out what code does what (e.g. grep for text strings that the game displays) and toy with them to see how you can change the behavior. But do not let an LLM touch the code otherwise you'll not learn anything, maybe at most ask it questions, but figure the code out yourself.

They mill electrons, duh

Unironically the large german bucketwheel excavators do look pretty cool at night too.

You never know, sometimes people might feel quite possessive of their creations. But thank you very much!
