olcPixelGameEngineC

This is the C port of the olcPixelGameEngine by Javidx9.

Every feature of the olcPixelGameEngine up until, inclusive, v2.06 has been fully ported, with the exception of the ResourcePack. I have personally tested it to work on Linux and Windows, however it has NOT been extensively tested. There are likely to be countless bugs and optomizations that will be discovered over time and I look forward to squashing each of the bugs and optomizing!

You only need the one file - olcPixelGameEngineC.h - included in your project!

Simply:

Create an Empty Project.
Add A Source File, call it whatever you want, but give it a .c extension NOT .cpp
Add the olcPixelGameEngineC.h header file to the project.
Write a program and profit!

Moros1138's Acknowledgements.

I know it sounds like a copout, but I too want to thank each and every one of those who contributed to the original. olcPixelGameEngine is an amazing tool that has rekindled my desire to program and since I've started I've learned more and more each day.

I want to thank Javid, for the community that he has built. It's an inspiration to anybody with a brain. Of course, that's just my opinion.

I also want to thank Gusgo and TarriestPython for their encouragement and help debugging and testing.

I want to thank MaGetzUb for his C vector implementation which made my life SO much easier.
