Introduction 💡

This repository is a personal project which I started because I wanted to improve my C programmign abilities. At first the aim is to get a working projection of the world, move and explore it. Note that the project has no fixed end and that I will try to make it evolve by adding different features like texturing, adding weapons and making it a small game.
