CoilSnake VS Alpine.js

https://github.com/pk-hack/CoilSnake/wiki is a livesaver for me when rom hacking.

Look into using CoilSnake. It’s a really powerful ROM hacking tool for EarthBound. https://pk-hack.github.io/CoilSnake/

Haven’t tried it myself, but CoilSnake would be the best way to do this I believe

Basically title. I downloaded version 4.1 from github but when I ran the .exe through virustotal some of the virus scanners picked it up as a trojan. Is there some other place I should download it from? I haven't ran the program yet because that kind of spooked me lol. Or is there some other program entirely I should use?

Some recent projects:

- Frontend only, plain javascript, but a lot of it uses a project-specific custom scripting language. This is a game that consists almost entirely of procedurally generated written content, so I write a language that makes it easy to categorize procedural content bits and make sub-calls to new ones. I have a long way to go on language design still, but it's already better than a json blob.

- HTML frontend with some small plain javascript. Backend is node/express, but most of the heavy lifting is done by a shell call to Coil Snake[1], and which inserts a ton of code in ccscript and 65816 assembly. This is a randomizer for Earthbound (http://pkscramble.com/), so those are super specialized tools for that purpose. But I really like the Coil Snake ecosystem, and it's definitely going to influence my projects going forward (the decision to use a custom scripting language above was influenced by ccscript).

- Plain javascript frontend, vertx backend, postgres database. This is my goto for serious projects. It's fairly boring.

This is the best site for getting my into EB rom hacking imo https://github.com/pk-hack/CoilSnake/wiki/Introduction

are you downloading from here https://pk-hack.github.io/CoilSnake/

In general there's this: https://github.com/pk-hack/CoilSnake/wiki But for movement scripts themselves, I don't think so. You'd have to join the PK hack Discord server and ask for help there. I'd help you myself but I haven't done them in a while so I'd need to mess with them again.

Alpine.js for reactive frontend

✨ In recent months, I have been developing web projects using GOTTHA stack: Go + Templ + Tailwind CSS + htmx + Alpine.js. As soon as I'm ready to talk about all the subtleties and pitfalls, I'll post it on my social networks.

> But honestly, torn towards htmx but undecided.

We are in the middle of migrating from our monster react application into server rendered pages (with jinja2). The velocity at which we are able to ship and the reduction of complexity has been great so far.

Managing client side state for simple things like (is the dropdown open/closed), listening to keyboard events and such can be done with something like alpine-js [1] without all the baggage that something like react brings.

It appears this is already the trend with JS frameworks too - with server side rendering being the new norm.

Sure, you can use any number of JS-avoidance libraries. I'm a fan of Turbo, and there's also htmx, Unpoly, Alpine, hyperscript, swup, barba.js, and probably others.

Direct DOM, but with a library. Specifically AlpineJS since it follows Vue closely in design practices allowing me to scale into a full web application if necessary (basically swapping to Vue takes minimal work). The Morph plugin is specifically what I like using.

If you want more details on the initial setup I encourage you to take a look at the Part I that covers more of the initial implementation. For this portion, I added Prisma as an ORM, a frontend style library called Tachyons, and AlpineJS to handle any client-side interactions. I did this to avoid needing to add a client-side bundler to the build and instead just rely on plain old module imports to compose the frontend. This is now the default for Rails and it is quite nice to not need any additional build tools for the client.

- [swallow-pywebview](https://github.com/rangwea/swallow-pywebview)： Base on [pywebview](https://pywebview.flowrl.com/) using Python，the frontend base on [alpinejs](https://alpinejs.dev/) and [tailwindcss](https://tailwindcss.com/)。

If you’ve followed our other tutorials, you might be familiar with Alpine.js. It’s a lightweight JavaScript library that allows you to add interactivity to your site without writing a single line of JavaScript. It’s incredibly easy to use, and we’ll show you how to make the animation trigger when the user scrolls to it.

The approach is not new, essentially a variation of Knockout, Alpine, and similar "JS-in-HTML" approaches.
