In this episode I go over how I added a new feature, font rendering to the engine. I also ended up refactoring almost 15,000 lines of code to switch from an OOP design to a Data Oriented Design. This change has significantly reduced my engine's RAM usage, it has simplified many problem areas in my code, and it has helped me identify memory leaks and other issues as well. I was not expecting to get all these benefits from switching to this style of code, but was pleasantly surprised at all the benefits.
