I have a background in http related coding, some backend and frontend, SQL. I do not have any C or C++ experience, so Odin would be my first go at a manually memory managed language.

I like to think I have a decent understanding of pointers and some of manual memory management, but no real experience in this space.

I am going through The Understanding Odin book by Karl and it is pretty great.

My question would be what kind of small/medium projects should I work on to get a better core understanding. Are there any good guides for smaller projects to follow? I know Odin is still a small community so I would imagine I would probably need to look at C based guides.

MMOs I have played over the years and liked:

PSO gamcube and private servers PC

Toon town and private servers (I know.. I know..)

Maplestory for years (has sucked for a long time now)

Maplestory 2 while it was still going

Guild Wars 2 (it's okay)

Destiny 1/2, can you count this lol?

MMOs I didnt care for:

Runescape

WOW

I am wondering if a more MMO lite game would do well? I would love to sink time and maybe money into a good MMO with a good playerbase but nothing really has stuck..

I really appreciate a good graphical style, not meaning it needs to look realistic.. but just quality.
