I agree. Wouldn't it be amazing to have a "Handmade Hero" series but for OS development in Rust? That would be incredible. A lot of the OS development, especially esoteric subjects are behind walls of IP control barring Linux kernel. Even then, just reading the source code is different than having access to the knowledge base that enables you to write such a code. I am new to all of this but like you, I am fascinated.

Just found "Handmade Hero" last weekend and now this. Programmer's dream

  How does one approach watching Handmade Hero? There's just so much content...

    Think it is a problem but every other resource in game development is summarized, organized and bookish. Handmade Hero is unique in that it is: - Real time, watching a dude program a game - He speaks his though process, stumbles, gets up and resolves issues - Community interaction as they progress through the game All, at the expense of content bloat. I think its popularity has spoken for itself in that Handmade Hero is a totally unique form of education.

      Is there any video somewhere of the actual game the handmade hero series builds up to? I would want to know the goal before jumping in

        The game is still actively in development. It isn't just a clone of some other game, it's a new game and the actual design of the game is another part of the project that's evolving as the engine is built.

        To be honest, I think this is the primary weakness of Handmade Hero. Casey is plainly a more talented programmer than designer, and his missteps in the latter domain felt to me more like wasted time than valuable experience. This is why I stopped watching somewhere between episode 200 and 300.

        Backtracking, experimenting, and changing your mind is part of the game development process. No game ever ends up being exactly what the designers imagined at the start.

  +1! Redox Os (micro kernel Os written in Rust) feels like a gust of fresh air! Godspeed! I am rooting for you! I don’t know what this says about me but I haven’t been this excited about new OS since I first installed OpenBSD 2.5. :)
