$ g++ main.cpp -o game && ./game | diff - golden.txt && echo PASS

Watch the foundation of a game get built from nothing. Every layer explained as it's written, every skill proven by a compiler. These are the layers most developers stand on and never see inside.

By hand, from zero, in public. The work lives in the devlog, commit by commit.

The rules

  • No engine. Every layer is written here, by hand.
  • No AI. Every line you see on screen was typed by a person.
  • The compiler is the judge: output diffed against a golden file, byte for byte.
  • Everything auditable: public repo, public devlog.

The Reading Order

Twenty-two books on C++ and systems, reduced to a dependency chain: which chapter of which book, in what order, and what to skip. The same chain the episodes follow.
