Finishing Sparse Unicode Support — Handmade Hero — Episode Guide

0:23Recap and plan for today

1:10Reviewing the the current status of the test asset builder

4:55On type-safe memory allocations

7:13Reserving space for the null glyph

10:39Happy Birthday, Windows^α

13:18Running the asset builder

13:50Reviewing the asset loading code

14:30We don't address Unicode codepoints directly anymore

15:16Unpacking the dense glyph table

16:18Using an unnecessarily big Unicode mapping table for the moment

19:53Storing the highest used codepoint in the asset file

22:25Hunt for ONE_PAST_MAX_FONT_CODEPOINT^β

23:03Genius day at Handmade Hero^γ

23:26Casey's mommy says he's very good at programming^δ

24:39We normally wouldn't be doing finicky suballocations by hand

26:20Adding extra finalization code after font loading

28:10Building the Unicode mapping table

32:50Implementing ZeroArray helper function

34:10Guarding against overflows by double casting

35:27Substituting codepoints with glyphs

37:25Implementing the glyph lookup routine

38:26Debugging today's and yesterday's changes

38:54No fonts visible. Let's inspect the font loading code

39:33OnePastHighestCodepoint was set but not saved to the asset file

42:38Another small error in font loading code

43:20Our font is back!

43:28Displaying the handmade owl unicode codepoints

44:08We egged Casey on^ε

51:10The kanji codepoints are there but not kerned properly
