Oh,i forgot to mention that,the code that i have to refactor,were written _without_ readability in mind,i started this just for a ncurses test,but now im quite invested in it. Thanks for the insight!

I find that my code needs 3 rewrites to be good.
First one to figure out what I am doing.
Second after trying to fix the first, because it was crap and making a bigger mess.
Third, to get it done right.
Generally I find that everything including data structures and algorithms is way off and trying to clean up wastes more time than starting over.

You could use tildegit.org, it's a lot like github.
I have a bunch of C projects there

@stack that actually looks so much nicer then GitHub imo. Might make the switch

Hi guys,ive been working on a roguelike for the past few days,the code is absolute shit now but i will be refactoring later,which by the way is a thing you should never do,instead you could've been doing good code since the begining. Anyway,when i finish version one (The first version where there's actual gameplay) i will be publishing it on github for you guys to see! I pratically dont use github,i use git though. It's a simple roguelike,no classes (i might want to add it later),rooms are...
