CoilSnake VS Papercups

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.

The best language for the task at hand, when presented with time constraints, is the one that you already know well. OP said in the article that they authored Papercups [1]. Adopting Elixir for a websocket-push service makes a lot of sense, then. However, why don't you learn Elixir, some OTP, and then reconsider that question? You could be missing out.

Phoneix - Elixir

We're a live message tool and it is basically what Elixir is built for https://github.com/papercups-io/papercups.

The Elixir community has been great and incredibly friendly. I originally was worried about the size of the community but that hasn't been an issue the community has been super helpful. I also think the annual stackoverflow usage surveys are very misleading because most of the community's questions get asked in ElixirForum and not on Stackoverflow.

Phoneix is the web framework of Elixir which is very similar to Rails but minus a lot of the magic has been very helpful for our productivity as well.

If I had to built another service that is websocket heavy I would definitely use Elixir. Even if it was a standard crud app I would still most likely choose Elixir.
