About the project
Inspired by Jonathan Blow's live streams and Casey Muratori's Handmade Hero, I decided to start a project while streaming the whole process. It was a small game and the original intent was to release it on Itch.io, but as it happens it was released on Steam! There are three main goals with this project:
1 - Learn 2 - Teach 3 - Have fun
All the decisions of the project were be based on these criteria. Like: "Why write from scratch?" - To learn more "Why make it such a small game?" - To more easily teach people the whole project (Handmade Hero, for example, fills the gap of live streaming the creating of a more complex and longer game; but there is a lack of smaller games for people to learn) "Why C and not C++?" - Because I think C is more fun! :)
