# 🐔 Programming 3
Hey there, fellow DAE developer or code enthusiast 👋
Welcome to my **Programming 3** repository — the next step after Programming 1 & 2, diving into **modern C++**, **system-level programming**, and **efficient code design**.
---
## 🗄️ About this repository
This repository contains all **Programming 3** lab projects and exercises completed during the **third semester (2023)** at **DAE**.
Unlike the previous courses, **all projects are stored on the main branch** — representing the full set of assignments developed throughout the semester.
The goal of this upload is **archival** and **educational**, keeping a clear record of the learning process and progression in software craftsmanship.
> ⚠️ This codebase was created in an academic setting.
> Expect raw, experimental, or in-progress work — not a polished engine.
> It’s a **snapshot of learning**, not a final product.

A single release build is available for quick testing and reference:
`programming_3-executables-1.0.0-windows-x64.zip`
You can find it in the [📦 Releases](../../releases) section.
---
## 🧠 Final Thoughts
Programming 3 was where things got **serious** — deeper C++ features, better hardware awareness, and a shift toward professional-grade programming practices.
This course built the foundation for performance-oriented development, memory safety, and data-driven thinking — key skills for engine or systems programming.
If you’re walking the same DAE path: embrace the complexity, read your compiler errors carefully, and remember — **undefined behavior is not a feature** 😅
