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.

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.
