Learning Data Structures with C

In Febuary 2025, we began programming small games in C using Raylib to understand the fundamentals of C programming and gain a deeper insight into low-level programming.

During this process, we also learned about Big O notation and algorithmic complexity, which helped us analyze and optimize our code. We were introduced to the helpful Big-O Cheat Sheet website, which became an essential resource for understanding the performance of different algorithms.

To connect these concepts to game development, we implemented two versions of the classic Snake game. The first version used arrays, while the second used a linked list. This exercise helped solidify our understanding of data structures and their impact on performance, especially in the context of game development.
