    For any other use case, I would have recommended Rust, but for making a hobby game engine, I would advise not using either rust or Odin and instead use C and C++. The graphics drivers have a primary C Abi and you would spend a really long time debugging C to Odin/Rust translation layer bugs than actually working on he engine.

    I would suggest write a C rendering library, wrap it in safe Rust and move on from there.


  • I started with rust 2 years back. It has been amazing since. Just build stuff you want to use, even recreate simple apps that you use everyday and have a rough idea on how they work. Getting used to the borrow checker takes time so don’t do something massive. Also if you haven’t finished the rust book and rustlings, I highly recommend them. They are amazing materials.

    You can check out my github for ideas. I have till now as far as I can remember built a notification daemon, an automatic music player, a time management app, a video server, video library manager, a C/C++ build system and lots of other stuff. Reading other people’s code will make you get best practices.

    PS Don’t learn from my builder_cpp project. The code is utter garbage, but it was how I used to do stuff in the early days



  • Sekiro is one of my all time favorite games and I find it to be quite fun. I think you are struggling because you consider yourself to be a souls borne veteran and approaching the game with that mentality. The primal urge to roll away is the biggest holdup in my opinion. Get in there and parry any attacks you can except the danger ones. Also, get mikiri counter ASAP.

    After you have beaten Geni, you will get some sort of hangof the general timings of the game, but true understanding can only be attained after beating sword saint isshin.

    Just hang in there, my first playthrough was hard as hell, but now I am at new game 13, sometimes I go through 2 new game cycles in a single day.

    Pro tip, grab as much booze as you can and give them to as many people as you can for that juicy lore.
