CoilSnake VS htmx

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.

HTMX is another library that gained popularity due to its server-first approach to rendering data, although seeking a much simpler way of appealing to developers.

When I work with HTMX I need isolated component that can be reusable a form. So I create a PHP Function that generate the Input Datalist.

I was inspired by htmz (which was in turn inspired by htmx) and how the author got pretty close to a basic htmx-like experience just using an iframe. I wanted to push it a little further so whipped this demo together. My submission demonstrates progressive enhancement for the form - with js enabled the request targets an iframe that is inserted into the dom, meaning the page doesn't actually navigate (similar to event.preventDefault()). The iframe receives the html response from the request and on load triggers a function to swap out it's contents into the main page.

As described on htmx.org: "htmx gives you access to AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server Sent Events directly in HTML, using attributes, so you can build modern user interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext"

Apart from the source code itself, the repo's README also gives a bit more details about the various packages I used.

Also, there’s some response header juggling you have to do when submitting forms that have a validation step before redirecting: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/369

I’ve tried to iron out any footguns or server requirements I’ve bumped into while using HTMX & Hotwire in my projects.

✨ 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.

I've been digging into HTMX lately (using Python web frameworks) and find the concepts and approach to be interesting and promising. The idea of hypermedia driven systems over the current practice of JavaScript based frameworks (I never really got into React, played with Vue, and enjoy Svelte/SvelteKit) and the ability to chose your language/framework for the backend while primarily leveraging HTML/CSS on the frontend just seems refreshing.

Apparently it changed from 2-clause BSD: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/commit/e16f1865a494b6...
