(Another point on my long to-do list: test it on a small game prototype.)

Published my "handmade" Advent of Code 2021 solutions. 💫

All in plain, modern C.

No dependencies except libc.

Fast with limited, pre-allocated memory.

(Feedback is more than welcome. Algorithmically and best practices for the language.)

I just completed all 25 days of Advent of Code 2021! #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/

Good to get into the mood for `The Movie`.
Still one of favorite stories: Full of surprise, change & meaning.
