Some thoughts on context menu #ui #design #devlog youtu.be/UeCDk5-lXYU

So here is the new mouse trace chunking algorithm. Notice that mouse traces are now split into meaningful windows now and zooming no longer causes chaos. Also new bugs. Powered by segment trees. #gamedev #wip #ui #design

Mouse traces now have little thumbnails on the timeline. Zooming is still a little chaotic but not for long... #wip #gamedev #ui #design

Interesting. I'll take a look

nice!

My mouse pointer seems to be possessed. Is this the proper way to exorcise your PC?

#Automat just learned how to move mouse! It's brewing me healing potions in #KingdomComeDeliverance2 right now ^^

Here is a fun trick: signal handlers can perform surgery on the stack & registers for the interrupted thread. It can be used to inject fake function calls or steer the execution arbitrarily.

It's almost like a built-in programmatic debugger that can be triggered with a "signal()" call.

that was *such* a good demo session. 3 mind bending futuristic tech demos techs from @mrogalski.eu , @pomdtr.me and I. Links in the vid. It went so well! I love that meetup.

Almost made a UI out of this 😅

This is amazing! 🤩

Here is a little exploit for leveling up speech in #skyrim. It's about ~1 hour of manual clicking (or 30 minutes with an auto-clicker) www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HlJ...

Skyrim Alchemy macro is ready!

JSON can be downloaded from the #machines-exchange channel in Automat's Discord (discord.com/invite/MRfuB...).

Automat can now farm alchemy ingredients in Skyrim! It scans the shopkeeper's inventory, buying every "Giant's Toe" & "Creep Cluster". When done, performs inventory reset glitch & starts over.

Another step towards fully automated alchemy grinding.

Programming intuitions are generally hard to build and require quite a bit of effort. Automat attempts to make it easier using a "scales" analogy. Here is how it works: youtu.be/GDXvH2CMzuk

If "no overflow" then...

An interesting performance tip I learned while making sense of x86 addressing system is that your arrays elements should ideally have 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes. Only for those sizes x86 instructions can access array elements directly (so no extra multiplication is needed to get an address).

Also for squiggly connections like this one. If I know the turn radius of the cable and horizontal displacement that I need to make, OtherLeg tells me how much vertical space the squiggly part will take.

I also use this to get a height of spheres on screen given 2d distance from their centers. This is useful for constructing a normal vectors.

Look at the gap between purple segments on the very left. I get the x position of the corners of this segment using OtherLeg(radius to the edge of the segment, half of spacing between segments). It's an incredibly small adjustment but makes things fit nicely.

Here I use it for placing the purple segments with fixed gaps (each segment is a pair of arcs with subtly different angles).

Here is a tiny but useful function. Given radius of a circle and length of a leg of an embedded triangle, it finds the length of the other leg. It may seem silly but it really makes it easier to think about geometric problems. It's like LERP for geometry.

Some of notes made while making sense of x86 conditions.

The worst part for me are the JB & JNB conditions which have dual use. They are used for comparing numbers and for "unsigned overflow" checking. This makes it hard to find a reasonable visual metaphor as it also has to exhibit this duality.

Do you know what's the difference between JA (jump above) and JG (jump if greater)?

Conditional instructions in x86 come in 16 variants with a bunch of interesting symmetries between them. Here is a visual language that attempts to exploit those symmetries to make their meaning more intuitive.

Instruction immediates can now be edited! The widget allows decimal, hexadecimal & UTF-8 input.

I'm also aware of the glibc's stance on dynamic linking from static binaries. I don't care about their opinions (because they're opinions - rather than arguments).
