Reinventing the wheel is no small task. We've prepped a few project templates in C, C++, and Odin to help you get started. They are packaged examples from some of the libraries (and using a language) from the Handmade community.
Check them out or contribute here.
Currently, we have four templates available for use...
... and we're always looking to add more. We also would like a Linux build script for them. If you'd like to contribute those things, open a pull request on the repository.
