101: More details for SoA vs AoS

I opened a pull-request on how I would shortly introduce it :)
Feel free to close it if you would like to phrase it differently.

I think it's very difficult to explain the principles of Zig's "data-oriented design" in an exercise, but luckily there's a good video by Andrew Kelley that I can recommend: https://vimeo.com/649009599

In the case of the exercise, it is faster and uses less memory to use the arrays this way because the indices of the arrays are paired instead of address pointers for each value. But honestly, I don't know how we can describe it better. Maybe after watching the video you will have a good idea. 😉

Since then, I have also watched the same video :D
Yes, it helped quite a bit, wrapping my head around it.
But maybe it would be nice to add the link to the exercise?
Though I can also understand if this seems "out of place".
Either way, thank you for responding :)

Good idea I will see how I can implement it.
