Nice work you have here, I will go ahead and ask for the curious ones what is your background and what would your top recommended books, videos, and additional educational resources that you used to learn C and game development in C?

Also, have you thought about making your own indie game studio to do this full time or on the side if you are not already doing so?

Thanks!

If you go through the architecture doc (which I'm almost done writing), you'll find links to most of the references I used: https://github.com/tsherif/space-shooter.c/blob/master/ARCHI...

Top one, though, would be Handmade Hero: https://handmadehero.org/

Not OP but I'm currently writing a game in C: just throw yourself into it. The language itself is minimal enough that you probably won't need much guidance other than looking up library functions and with modern tools like the various sanitizers in clang and valgrind it's hard to go too wrong.
