I've been trying out JangaFX's IlluGen to make VFX for Paula. Honestly even though the tool still seems to be pretty early, holy shit, it is so fun to make assets with it.

Its been a month since i started using @gingerbill.org 's Odin language, so I feel compelled to finally write something about that For context: I'm working on a little steamvr overlay tool in my free time. The goal is to learn more about steamvr and to write something lower level than i usually do

There is an annoyance some people using Odin have where they don't want to use the MSVC toolchain on Windows but rather use MinGW. These being the two main toolchains for C/C++ development on Windows. There is a reason Odin uses MSVC and NOT the MinGW toolchain...

This is clearly just AI generated garbage. Please don't read any of it. The code examples are borderline-Go and it's all bad.

My Odin book comes in two flavors: HTML - Great for reading on the computer. It's a single HTML file with everything baked in. Also works on phone / tablet. EPUB - Simpler layout, for your e-reader, phone or tablet.

A lot of people ask me how Implement, linked lists/vectors/strings/hash tables, and other common data structures, and I think most people assume i have really good reusable implementations of these after 20+ years. I don't. I always reimplement it every time.
