C4

A rhythm game from absolute scratch in C (if I stop procrastinating)

This is my attempt at making anything that resembles a game from absolute scratch, doing everything myself, from memory management to windowing to graphics to audio. Honestly knowing myself I don't think it's gonna go anywhere since I procrastinate a lot, but maybe this time I'll go somewhere.

I'll keep notes about my experience coding it as I go.

Status

I barely have the start of a platform layer. This is gonna take a while.

• platform layer

  • allocators
    • arena
  • allocating virtual memory
  • windowing (Linux, X11)
    • open and close windows
    • poll events
  • audio (Linux, ALSA)
    • how's the audio latency??
  • graphics (framebuffer)

• audio

  • audio mixer
  • FFT analyzer (optional)
  • audio spectrum (optional)

• graphics (2D)

  • text rendering
  • simple shapes
  • images

• game (bruh)

  • separate threads (rendering, input, update, audio)
  • rendering: simple sprites
  • game mechanics (basic 4k vsrg)
    • slap music on top of it
  • simple immediate-mode UI
  • chart file format
