Hello! My name is Mahdi Almusaad. I am experienced in OpenGL graphics programming and cross-platform development. This self-hosted website serves as a showcase of my projects and a collection of blogs to document programming history and guides, particularly in the C programming language.
Feel free to contact me for any questions.

Creating Programs with OpenGL
When you use a phone or a computer, you may be curious to know how they actually render graphics on to your screen. The simple answer is that they use a graphics library, with the specific variant depending on the operating system. You may not be surprised to know that Windows uses Microsoft's DirectX, while MacOS/iOS uses Apple's Metal graphics library, while most other OSs use some combination of OpenGL (standard and ES) and Vulkan...

If you have been writing C for any amount of time, you probably know the malloc function. It takes in a number of bytes, and returns a void pointer to some "allocated memory". But it can also fail in case no memory is available, in which case no allocation occurs and it returns a NULL pointer...
