uni

Collection of university C projects, each in its own directory.

Projects

Directory	What it is
malloc/	Custom dynamic memory allocator with driver-based benchmarking and grading scripts.
shell21/	Small Unix-like shell implementation with jobs, lexer/parser logic, and automated tests.
slowomania/	SDL2 typing game focused on typing speed and score tracking.
tictactoe/	Terminal Tic-Tac-Toe game against an AI using Minimax.

Repository Structure

This repository is intentionally split into independent projects. Build, run, and test commands are executed inside each project directory.

Prerequisites

• C compiler (GCC or Clang)
• GNU Make (required for malloc/ and shell21/)
• Python 3 (used by grading/testing scripts)

Project-specific dependencies:

• shell21/: readline development package
  • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install libreadline-dev
  • Fedora: sudo dnf install readline-devel
• slowomania/: SDL2, SDL2_image, SDL2_ttf (+ runtime assets in folder)

Quick Start

malloc/

Build:

cd malloc
make

Run driver:

./mdriver

Run grading script:

make grade

Clean build files:

make clean

shell21/

Build:

cd shell21
make

Run shell:

./shell

Run tests:

make test

Notes:

• Test script runs multiple randomized checks (sh-tests.py).
• Build includes AddressSanitizer flags in current Makefile.

slowomania/

This project ships SDL runtime DLLs/assets in slowomania/. There is no Makefile in this directory right now.

Typical build on Windows with MinGW (adjust include/lib paths to your SDL setup):

gcc main.c -o slowomania -lSDL2 -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_ttf

Then run from inside slowomania/ so assets like words.txt, best.txt, and images are found.

tictactoe/

Build:

cd tictactoe
gcc main.c tic.c -o tictactoe

Run:

./tictactoe

Platform Notes

• malloc/ and shell21/ are Unix/Linux-oriented by default.
• tictactoe/ uses system("cls") in code, so it is currently Windows-console oriented.
• slowomania/ is currently easiest to run on Windows because SDL DLLs are already included.

Formatting

If clang-format is installed:

• malloc/: make format
• shell21/: make format
