Compiler Updates #
Only minor fixes and additions to the core library. Monthly Release
YouTube #
As always Karl Zylinski and Rickard Andersson are continuously uploading content on Odin. Great to see people using & sharing it!
Events #
Handmade Seattle happened two weeks ago! Bill had a chat with Abner Coimbre, the organizer of Handmade Seattle.
Orca #
Handmade Seattle hosted multiple amazing demos. There was one which I needed to mention is Orca by Martin Fouilleul.
WebAssembly apps without the web.
A brand-new stack for cross-platform apps.
There was also Q&A session afterwards here
Orca & Odin #
As Orca only requires developers to export a .wasm module, writing Orca applications is a straightforward process! Naturally, Odin supports this feature, as demonstrated with wasm4.
Here are the first few sample demos converted from C to Odin, utilizing the C bindings. While it’s functional, there are still a few details we need to iron out for smoother out-of-the-box performance. We hope to have everyone try it out this December.
I’m genuinely excited about Orca and eager to see its development path!
got the first full example to work 🎉 - Skytrias
orcaorca breakout example also works now 🎉 - Skytrias
orca fluid sim example working 🎉 - Skytrias

cat is literally in space - karl_zylinski
Tools & UI #
Been working on a node-based digital synthesizer/looper for the past few weeks (or months?). I 've always loved node-based software, and I had wondered if it would make sense for audio performance/production. - markersniffen
Custom GUI framework made with Odin - flysand
I had this idea for a command-line engine for a while and decided to put it in practice. Once the root of the engine is put into your path, you can use it from anywhere to initialize new projects quickly via oxse init *-quick* - The Lua Whisperer
Added MenuBar to Winforms. Here is the code and output. 🙂 - kcvinker
