## What it is
Open Golf is a cross-platform 3D minigolf game written in C using the Sokol libraries, with custom physics for ball collision and a built-in terrain editor. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, and in the browser via HTML.

## Use cases
- play a 3D minigolf game on desktop or mobile
- run a minigolf game in the browser
- edit minigolf course terrain in-game for fast iteration
- study a C game with custom physics and lightmapping
- build a cross-platform game from a single C codebase

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, open-source minigolf game across many platforms
- you want to learn how a small C game engine with Sokol, ImGui, and baked lightmaps is built
- you want an in-game level editor to design and test holes quickly

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured commercial golf simulation
- you want a game engine or framework to build your own games rather than a finished game
- you need extensive documentation or modding support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: gaming-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows, browser, cpp
- tags: minigolf, c, sokol, physics, 3d-graphics, level-editor, lightmapping, game-development, linux, macos, android, ios
