This video shows an open and honest real-time session with one of our developers talking through the process of implementing timers within the Flax engine using the Odin programming language developed by Ginger Bill, @GingerGames and the resultant assembly code within Flax needed to use them. It also discusses our internal approaches, practises, methodologies, and the creation of the needed tooling required to set up such a project. It also covers documentation and a look at the book on understanding Odin by Karl Zylinski, @karl_zylinski

Nothing is hidden; you get to see everything, bugs, warts and all, as well as how to resolve them.

About Flax:
Flax is a high-speed assembly language, compiler, and runtime engine originally designed for use in education, for teaching low-level programming concepts without the danger of bricking the machine with native assembly.
