During the project I realized that the way I did things didn't exactly compile into machine code similar to what the C++ equivalent would. My initial objective was to get the syntax in C as close to C++ as possible, and that's what I did, so I'm quite happy. Just thought I should share this since it may be important depending on what you intend to do.

| OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING IN C, HOW? | Ianertson | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3BkpZojfVE | Really important, helped me realize how memory works and how I could make things work out the way I wanted |

| Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in C | Michael Safyan | https://www.codementor.io/@michaelsafyan/object-oriented-programming-in-c-du1081gw2 | First article I found about this subject, really good read |
| How I program C | Eskil Steenberg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=443UNeGrFoM | Not really focused on OOP, but helps to better understand structs and how to use them efficientely |
These should be a good place to start, but I recommend reading as much as possible regarding the subject, I find it really interesting.
You can also find a bunch of examples of OOP in C in the Linux's source code.
