Voxel Hobby Engine

While I have not put much time into "Blocks" in a few years now, this project shows how my dedication to learning C and OpenGL led to a successful project that I am proud of.

C Data Structures Library

Starting as only a stack and ring-buffer file for my data structures class at LTU, this project has grown into a more general purpose C data library including chunked memory allocators, hashmaps, worker thread management, and more that I use to get quickly up to speed in any new C project. The files are intended to be dropped into an existing source tree, and eventually I want to refactor the voxel engine to use code from this repository.
