+
+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.
