dream, money, -
Financial security is really, like ... the only thing I haven't ever had in my life. My parents were fairly poor and always in debt when I was growing up, and I was thousands of dollars in debt starting when I was 17. I literally don't know what it is like being debt-free and having a surplus of money, or even just having enough money that you can do almost anything you wanted...
The original code only used this centering function for displaying street names, but hopefully I can rework it so any arbitrary line of large text can be centered. We'll see... ^.^
Writing a function to center text, since the original function won't work with my new text format, or with a variable-width font...
Okay, fixed that. (It was a string I had explicitly skipped before, because I didn't know where it was being used.)
Still lots of work to do before I can move on to something else...
Awesome, rewriting everything that touched SearchDialogDefinitionForA fixed the corruption bug that was crashing games when AI characters said anything! ^w^
... aaaand I immediately found another corruption bug in a dialog window I didn't touch yet. >.<;;;
I don't even know how Konomi's face got corrupted...
This Sunday 1:15 EST at Queerness and Games Conference 2018 I'm going to be giving a talk! It will be called "Making a Programming Language is Surprisingly Easy and Fun" and I will demo creating a scripting language from scratch and adding it to show how easy it can be. There will be streaming but I'm not sure what the URL is yet. https://qgcon.com/qgcon-2018/talks/making-a-programming-language-is-surprisingly-easy-and-fun/
I finished fixing all the code that was calling the SearchDialogDefinition function last night, so ... now I have to go back through each dialog box call, and check the surrounding code for any of the old functions I just replaced, and repoint them properly...
... weh. Tedium. x.x;;
Help Rae the Doe: after a recent comic suggested gamers should support the 250 ppl laid off by Telltale, Olive Brinker (Rae's creator) had to deactivate her account because of the subsequent mass harassment by the GooberGrape movement.
If you can, please support Olive on patreon at https://www.patreon.com/raethedoe. She does amazing work for the trans community and deserves support during this attack.
re: programming, request
Just realizing "Thingy view" is basically a custom character set.
programming, request
Does anybody know of a better free hex editor? I mostly want something stable and easily usable, but also preferably with support for displaying contents using a replacement table (Translhextion calls this feature "Thingy table view", after an old DOS editor called Thingy).
Also, I'm on Windows most of the time, so something that runs on Windows is preferable.
Poly trans cuddlefloof programmer and gamedev(?). I love poking around in and reverse engineering old games. I'm also super shy and have horrible anxiety, so ... please be nice...
I don't mind if you follow request, but if I don't know or recognize you, please send me a message so I know who you are. #nobot
