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.
