goblin VS yayagram

On the backend side, a lot has changed. The biggest change is that the dependency on Boost has been completely removed, and everything has been reworked accordingly. This should make packaging easier, as yabridge now no longer depends on any system library other than the basic libraries needed to interact with X11. Some parts of Boost have been replaced by other headers-only libraries, while other parts now simply use custom implementations. All of this is explained in more detail in the 'Packaging notes' section of the changelog. Yabridgectl also lost its dependency on winedump, at least in most cases. It now tries to parse plugin libraries directly using the goblin binary parsing library. This should also speed up the syncing process. I did, however, run into one plugin that this new parser couldn't handle. If that happens then winedump will still be used instead.

For now the minidump creation is a fairly faithful port of the Breakpad code, but like I said some of that code is really old, so there's probably cases where taking a step back and rethinking the approach based on new kernel or OS capabilities or, instead of recreating process snapshotting for each non-Windows, just have a really good parser for each OSes crash format that does a transform. Rust is a fantastic language for writing those kinds of parsers, so that would definitely be an interesting avenue to investigate, especially since in the Linux case a lot of groundwork has already been done by goblin.

I do security-related projects in Rust, and goblin has been my go-to crate for any type of binary parsing (ELF/PE/Mach-O).

Two crates: - parse-size is criminally underrated. It allows you to parse input like "100 MB", "50 kb", "25b" into an integer of bytes. It parses input so intuitively and it works exactly the way I expected. I use it in https://github.com/r00ster91/splitter. - line_drawing is in my opinion the best line algorithm library there is. Extremely clean and nice to use. Exactly what I need for my project https://github.com/r00ster91/yayagram.

Still working on this puzzle game playable in the terminal with the mouse: https://github.com/r00ster91/yayagram In version 0.5.0 I've added a feature to darken all cells in a specific direction from the pointer but now I've figured out that a much better way is to constantly darken all cells in the four directions of the mouse pointer.

This is the repository with much more information in the README.md: https://github.com/r00ster91/yayagram, including an example at the bottom that might help you understand the game better if you are new to this kind of puzzle game. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonogram.

Hello Rustaceans. This is a clone of the puzzle game picross (also known as nonograms, griddlers and some other names) but with some additions and novelty, like a blue grid cell (wasn't used in this video) and an editor. If you want to try it, you can install the game with cargo install yayagram. Here is the repository with much more information in the README.md: https://github.com/r00ster91/yayagram, including an example that might help you understand the game better if you are new to this puzzle game.

Today I released the puzzle game yayagram which is picross/nonograms but for the terminal. I've been working on it for what feels like months now and it has really come a long way.
