+
+**Codegirl Games** is a game studio and content company with a simple mission: build and release affordable, full-feature games while teaching others how game development actually works.
+
+We're not pretending to have all the answers. We're learning in public — comparing languages on the same project, applying patterns from books like *Game Programming Patterns*, and building a game engine through trial and error.
+
+If you want honest process over polished marketing, you're in the right place.

+
+*Game Programming Patterns* by Robert Nystrom is the reference we're using as we build. The patterns aren't abstract — we're applying them to real code in our tower defense and engine experiments.
+
+Expect follow-up posts that map specific chapters to our codebase: State for unit AI, Object Pool for projectiles, and more.

+
+We're building the same tower defense game in multiple languages — starting with Odin, then C, then C++ — to compare what each language is actually like for game development.
+
+This isn't a benchmark blog. We're documenting ergonomics, tooling, bugs, and the feeling of working in each language day to day.
+
+More posts in this series coming soon.

+
+First devlog in the tower defense series. This week: project structure, rendering a basic grid, and defining the shared spec that C and C++ ports will follow.
+
+## What worked
+
+- Odin's explicit memory model made the render loop straightforward
+- Keeping the game spec language-agnostic from day one
+
+## What broke
+
+- Pathfinding placeholder — towers can be placed anywhere for now
+- No entity system yet; everything is in one update function
+
+Next: basic tower placement and enemy waves.
