@SomeEgrets@meow.social yeah! even with the limited setup, i still think it turned out pretty nice~ ^^

@SomeEgrets@meow.social oh! that makes sense

and yeaaah, looking into it a bit more, it looks like there was a permission to read external storage originally--but was split into three separate ones: developer.android.com/referenc

so it would make sense that your browser doing a file picker would probably request all three

oof D:

So I managed to get a window actually get constructed. Like usual, I have underestimated this task and creating a window in Win16 requires quite a bit of work. But this is progress!

Visual Studio 2019 for Windows 3.11 (2021)

thought it was weird of microsoft to do this but okay

@typhlosion i love this journey for chaos you've embarked on, and this part actually makes it even better

@eevee @typhlosion "give me your most annoying editor to suggest to others"

...

"no, too annoying"

@sugar i just wanted to say that your icon is extremely good

abdl (+) 

learning that one of the people behind bunnybot is abdl!

aaa, how many times am i going to learn that someone i've been interacting with for a while has been without my knowing, and that i'm not such an anomaly

this has legit happened a double-digit number of times now, and it still catches me off guard every time

so! i ended up writing a super-simple pattern to let me see what's in the maps more specifically~

each different color is a row in the map layout, and if i mouse over any bit, it will tell me what kind of sprite it is on the map there! (it will also tell me the coordinate i'm looking at)

@SomeEgrets@meow.social huh, that's wild! and not exactly in the good way

i take it you're probably avoiding apps, but i'm not really sure what the alternative is here (though maybe it will get fixed soon on meow?)

@SomeEgrets@meow.social these are really pretty! (nice shot..!)

@SomeEgrets@meow.social wat

does that happen when you use another interface, like say pinafore.social/?

(also, i should stress this isn't an app, it's another website that interacts with your main instance using client-side websockets in your browser)

@SomeEgrets@meow.social oh yeah! it's absolutely rad!

github.com/WerWolv/ImHex

if you grab it, try opening a png in it and check out the breakdown in the bottom when you apply its pattern!

it's not as elaborate as wireshark's bit-for-bit descriptions of what things are, but it does a lot of the same things, and i like it lots~

with something like imhex, you can even visualize it to see the details a little more clearly with its data processor!

it's really neat opening level files for old games in hex editors

a lot of the time, they are just 2d arrays just dumped right into a file, so you can see the shapes of the levels if you adjust the width of the wrapping!

like, here's the first level of duke nukum 1 in HxD next to what it looks like in-game!
