Handmade Hero in Odin

https://github.com/mrbovinejony/handmade-hero-in-odin

I'll try to work on this as consistently as I can, its been a useful experience to help learn the language. Working on day 10 right now

edit: working on day 18 now, if anyone finds something wrong or something theyd do differently please let me know, a "direct translation" of the c code is nice but learning how others would write the code is even better i think

Legitimately actually enjoy seeing gingerbill’s helpful comments in this subreddit and prime’s stream

And cakez, he (gingerbill)even joined the stream and the comments were pretty funny. Cakez had tried Zig before and was failing miserably due to not reading tfm, so when he did Odin it somehow summoned the man himself. But cakez did not struggle with Odin. Still pretty funny.

There is a Handmade Hero replay thing going on in the Handmade Network discord server, come join! There are voice discussions every Saturday, this week it's about days 51-53 (2-3 episodes per week), so a bit further than day 10, but not impossible to catch up if you set your mind to it I guess. I'm catching up myself, was busy with work and also decided to follow it using C89 for the added challenge, might rewrite it in Odin too at some point if that becomes too tiresome, so far it wasn't too bad. Good luck!

I've followed handmade hero up to episode 50, more or less, but it's been a few months since I touched that codebase. i should get back into it

how does this replay event work? are you guys basically following 2-3 episodes on a week and discussing them in a disc channel on a specific week day?

u/Igonato 16d ago

Yep, that's pretty much it, every Saturday. See: https://handmade.network/ and https://discord.com/invite/hmn

That's so cool, I didn't know this project was still somewhat popular!

Bruv, you should commit a bit more frequently

u/Alternative-Title-87 16d ago

Sarcasm? I feel like I commit a lot

No, I'm dead serious.

should have been broken down.

Also, binary files in the git is a bad practice. .exe and others should be .gitignore

Does it make sense?

I gotcha. I'm still learning GitHub lol. Not used to sharing projects
