Uhm, hello.
I have a question regarding career advice, mostly with what kind of courses I should take in college. Is this an appropriate forum?

@lostbyte Firstly, check the EULA to make sure this kind of thing is legal for you to do. Next, see what you can determine about how it's stored by the game developer; perhaps they have a dev blog. After that, try to figure out how you can get this data. That may well dictate what is easiest to do already.
@PyWalker2797 The main site clearly has those kinds of question as off topic. The room seems to be a bit more relaxed, if only because not many people lurk here.
The main kinds of courses to take in college are the ones required to get whatever degree you've already presumably signed up to work toward. The best advice I can give you is to find your university's career counseling department and ask them. Surely they know what kinds of jobs their graduates usually get, and you're paying them good money for their advice whether you actually ask them for it or not.
But since you're asking internet strangers how to live your life, here's what I'd say. With whatever flexibility you have left, the two main options are to broaden your horizons with new stuf…
Oh, and if you can suss out any professors with industry experience, try asking them.

Well I tried to ask the question on the softwareengineering sister site but some guy came and deleted my question right away. @JoelHarmon thanks for the reply, this is totally legal and the company encourages developers to do so. I will take a look at the dev blog but eventually I will go basic with Postgres and MongoDB set up then evolve as I learn more about the domain.

You might be best off deleting this question here and posting it on dba.stackexchange.com instead. You're much more likely to get traction with the DBAs than here with the programmers. — Eric Brandt 40 secs ago

This sounds like a homework assignment. It might not be, but it sounds like one. "3. Questions asking for homework help must include a summary of the work you've done so far to solve the problem, and a description of the difficulty you are having solving it.". The current state of your question doesn't fulfill these requirements. Please edit the question to improve it. Please, also read this Open letter to students with homework problems. — Makyen 52 secs ago

For etiquette, see the Software Engineering Stack Exchange. Also, what do you mean by "efficient query-wise"? — Jerfov2 45 secs ago

Q: C - wrapping globals in a struct?

Dirk BruereA firmware style question concerning C. I have some legacy code I am tidying up. One of the nasty features is global variables being scattered through the source files. I can make a few of them locals, which is fine. However, how to deal with the rest. I favour creating a struct and putting them...
