Reckless Drivin

I’m working on a rewrite of the Macintosh game Reckless Drivin’. Jonas Echterhoff shared the original source code in 2019, and I have been working on my rewrite ever since. Despite starting with the original source code, the project has involved a lot of reversing to understand the binary format for the game assets. I occasionally write about what I have learned and share progress updates:

• Unpacking LZRW-compressed game assets from resource forks
• Rewriting Reckless Drivin’ in Zig
• Resource decryption and generating registration codes
• Deserializing resources with Zig comptime metaprogramming
• We have pixels! And some undefined behavior…
• Color lookup tables led me to realize I was using incomplete game data for several years

zf

zf is a fuzzy finder that is optimized for filtering filepaths.

• A different approach to fuzzy finding
• In search of a better file finder
• Creating a better file finder

Ziglua

Ziglua is an idiomatic Zig wrapper for Lua and Luau.

• Introducing Ziglua
• LuaJIT is more complex than I thought

Other projects

• workspaces.nvim and sessions.nvim: simple workspace and session plugins for neovim.
• projectile: a Blender addon to apply initial velocities to rigid body objects.
• Blender: I participated in the Google Summer of Code in 2019 and 2020 improving the outliner editor. My commit history shows other areas I contributed to.
