I'm happy to present Day 22 of Handmade Hero Notes: Instantaneous Live Code Reloading!
https://yakvi.github.io/handmade-hero-notes/html/day22

1. Variable PDB Name
2. Re-enable Debugger Support
3. Remove Delay Between Reloads
   For the simplicity of following along, this day sees somewhat of a departure from my usual "follow strictly Casey's flow" approach. The various things Casey did during this day have been swapped around as they more sense this way.

This was a fun one. Handmade Hero Notes, Day 9. Variable-Pitch Sine Wave Ouptut: https://yakvi.github.io/handmade-hero-notes/html/day9

• Generate a Sine Wave
• Debug Writing to the Sound Buffer
• Link Sound Pitch to User Input
• Bonus: The First Game Jam (especially fun because I dug out some old photos)

Also, I don't apologize for crappy graphs. Trying to draw sine waves using ASCII/Unicode characters never gets old.

Handmade Hero Notes Day 8 is live! https://yakvi.github.io/handmade-hero-notes/html/day8

• Write to a Circular Buffer
• Square Wave
• Play Sound through DirectSound

Day 2 of Handmade Hero Notes is live! I keep finding and fixing typos and other bugs, so if anyone notices anything, give me a poke! https://yakvi.github.io/handmade-hero-notes/index.md.html
