ffdec is a slow piece of software. and for a couple of weeks i had to rely on it for gaconvert. when i say it was slow, i mean it was slow, i don't think any program should turn a job done in a little over a second to one done in 5 and a half fucking hours
so, i have to redo what they did with swf to svg conversion. it is not easy. there's a bunch of stuff i don't understand about the swf format still and comprehending long xml files with weird specific cases in code is hard.
diff for convert.cs as of today, 270 lines of code to 318
i don't even have it processing paths yet. i'm still working on figuring out styling.
oh another pain is that of fillstyle0 and fillstyle1. i'm not sure how im supposed to process that information in regards to svg. there's nothing in svg that comes remotely close and i can't tell if ffdec just ignores it or if they actually do something regarding the different fillstyles. i guess i need to look at their code but it is so painful to look at a codebase i have no knowledge of. especially when it's a language i've never touched before (java).
idk this project is just burning me out really quick at this point. maybe i should take another break, but i already told myself and others that i would have the project done by the end of this year. i don't know if i can keep that promise considering how annoying this is starting to become.
my sleep schedule is also fucked, so i'm just always tired now and that also adds on to the difficulty of this.
> phoenixvm rewrite planned (again)
so basically, i'm no longer gonna be using vuejs for phoenixvm. i don't enjoy programming in javascript, so i'm instead opting for blazor, a c# framework letting you write webapps without writing a line of javascript. i think it'll end up nice, but if it doesn't work out i can just go back to the original vue version.
> another song
i'm working on another song now, it's gonna be called "Frenetic". it's got thearchy expunged turning into her true form by the end.
with wip vocals (dave's not here i'm tryna figure his vocals out)
i have not worked on buffer overflow in a bit. i just can't figure out what i want with the dave vocals. same with deception.
