Pong in C with Raylib
The sheep have finished lambing and I finally have some spare time. I've been AFK for a few weeks and during that time I've been reflecting on life as a programmer. Upon this reflection I have made a decision. I want to write C. Writing C feels like proper programming and I wish to be a proper programmer.
I'm a "Software Engineer"
I've been working as a "Software Engineer" since 2014. Before that I studied a Master's Degree in Computer Science. Where I learned about C, C++, and how computers worked. This was all in preparation for a wonderous career in the software industry.
