Handling lifecycle events on iOS and MacCatalyst with .NET MAUI

I just blogged: Handling #lifecycle events on #iOS and #MacCatalyst with .NET #MAUI #dotNET #dotNETMAUI #iOSDev #macDev #programming #CSharp #mobileDev #DesktopDev

My current side project is running on iOS and MacCatalyst. Even if both of them are able to share a lot of code, there are some challenges that you should be aware of if you’re going down this route. One of these challenging areas is the handling of the lifecycle events. Read the docs first Before you continue to read this post, I recommend reading the MAUI documentation about the app lifecycle…

Sorry about that, but gcc is aware that it is international nonbinary day so no code can be compiled today. You might have better luck the rest of the week when there is a 1 in 42 chance of compiling into a binary format.

If you really need it to be done today i can recommend making it into an analog circuit. They have a huge boost this week so abuse that while you can.

GonzagoGL contains this curious file, SwimTuning.xml

note that it mentions "flight control" and "flight sim" specifically. upon further inspection though this is remarkably similar to the flight controls in TidePool, another spore prototype

it doesnt have this or a similar xml file, but several of the parameters are the same. though the GonzagoGL file seems to have more parameters and they have different values

but either way the flap rate value is rather notable for what was seemingly going to be aquatic physics? which are certainly unused in GonzagoGL, though its actually referenced in the exe

in specific its referenced in the .data file in the exe, seemingly as AvatarFlySwimTuning

but the avatar actually glides along the ground always so yeah. not used

there IS a swim stat in the game but the creature just gets stuck along the ground trying to walk into water, no matter how high the swim stat is. although, as it turns out, it can slide backwards into water and then move around fine

you can walk backwards as long as youre moving down a water slope, and forward as long as youre moving UP a slope. you can probably wiggle yourself out of getting stuck in water, and you can even place a nest on the water with no problem

-

anyway the way this is done is via a bizarre hack in Data\Scripts\terrain_speed_effects.txt

# THIS SECTION MAKES THEM STOP AT WATER BOUNDARIES if (underwater and slope <= 0) max_speed = 0 endif

by commenting out this section in the file i can see the possibly intended behavior of the swim stat

so... turns removing this section just makes the creature be able to move on water effortlessly, as if it were any other ground. i quickly grinded out the swim stat and it made no difference

-

however Data\Scripts\avatar_evolution.txt has this for the swim stat but i think it just means that the stat gets capped at 1 instead of 5 (even though the actual ingame cap is 5 anyways)

## Bounds checking if (stealth_points > 5) stealth_points = 5 endif if (climb > 1) climb = 1 endif if (swim > 1) swim = 1 endif

and this defines the swim stat for the avatar

swim = 0*swim_points #0.25

both swim and climb seem to have a commented out value here that wasnt set to 0, so lets try making it 0.25 and see what happens. well what happens is that it gets stuck in water anyways, i think the swim stat doesnt actually do anything even if you make it do something. it just seems to me like it was never implemented

-

curiously the flapping is also referenced in Data\Scripts\creature_keys.txt, used for right click

#creature movement #events are: MOVE, TURN, RUN, STRAFE, ATTACK, FLAP, PICKUPDROP # the magnitude of the numbers (1, -1) is not relevant

BIND RBUTTON FLAP BIND RBUTTON ROTATE_CAMERA BIND MBUTTON ROTATE_CAMERA BIND LBUTTON SETDEST

(PICKUPDROP isnt even referenced in the file; ill need to make a post about that)

theres also flight_camera.txt which only contains this

distance = distance - direction*8

note that the apparent flight/swimming controls seem to line up with the aquatic stage models present in GonzagoGL, which are entirely unused. theyre also referenced in the exe in .rdata though, and below the string that references the models is this string

Gonzago - Chaim's Fly/Swim Experiments User picked a mountain. Fail. Missed… Hit air. Fail. Too far to clip. Clipping to water level. Using point on water shell. Point is above water; Point is underwater. Assuming we want to swim forward Point is too close to the creature; Point is too close to the camera; Picking on inflated planet: (%d hits) O; wall; Camera above-water; water; Camera underwater; planet; 3; Hit air Mouse is on the planet. Hit a perch. selecting multiple selecting deselecting targeting idle €A33і>RTS Sticky Selection Dynamic Hold Mouse To Swim Hold Mouse to Swim (Creature) Sea Level Bird Tribe Fish Tribe Bird Fish UFO Mode Fly/Swim UI

this seems to confirm that youd use the mouse to swim forwards, much like the TidePool flight controls

the game does have launch states (i was avoiding bringing this up until i start making dedicated posts about them, but whatever! launch states! look forward to that) with different stages, but none of them seem to be for the fly/swim experiments. there might be some other way to access them that i dont know of though?

Configuring Zephyr: A Deep Dive into Kconfig

We presented The Zephyr Project RTOS and illustrated a personal best practice for beginning with "Zephyr" in an earlier blog post. A custom West manifest file is a great way to guarantee that your code is always at a known baseline when you begin development, as you saw in that blog post. Following the creation of your custom manifest file and the establishment of your baseline repositories using West, what comes next in your Zephyr journey?

Enabling particular peripherals, features, and subsystems is one of the first steps in putting embedded software into practice. Some MCU manufacturers, like STM32, Microchip, and TI, have tools in their IDEs that let developers add subsystems to their codebase and enable peripherals in their projects. These tools, however, are closely related to the MCUs that the vendors sell. Applying these tools' functionality to other MCUs is challenging, if not impossible.

However, we can enable a specific MCU subsystem or feature using a vendor-neutral mechanism provided by The Zephyr Project RTOS. For people like me who don't like GUIs, this mechanism can be used with a command line. The name of this utility is "Kconfig." I'll go over what Kconfig is, how it functions, and the various ways we can use it to incorporate particular features and subsystems into our Zephyr-based project in this blog post.

WHAT IS KCONFIG?

Kconfig is still utilized today as a component of the kernel compilation process, having been initially created as part of the Linux kernel. Kconfig has a particular grammar. Although fascinating, the specifics of how Kconfig is implemented in the Linux kernel are outside the purview of this blog post. Alternatively, if you're interested, you can read my article here: (https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2021/244/Kconfig-Deep-Dive), which walks through the Kconfig source code. However, after seeing an example, it's simple to become familiar with the format of a "Kconfig"—the slang term for a specific configuration option. The Kconfig system consists of three primary components.

First, there is the collection of Kconfig files scattered across different OS codebase directories. For example, if we look under "drivers/led" within the Zephyr codebase, we see a file named Kconfig with the following contents:  menuconfig LED     bool "Light-Emitting Diode (LED) drivers"     help      Include LED drivers in the system configurationif LED...config LED_SHELL    bool "LED shell"    depends on SHELL    help      Enable LED shell for testing.source "drivers/led/Kconfig.gpio"...endif # LED

Using the if statement, the line that begins with "menuconfig" tells the Kconfig system that "LED" contains a number of feature options that are only visible if the "LED" feature is enabled. The user can then activate the "LED_SHELL" option if the "LED" feature is enabled. The result of this configuration option is a Boolean, which determines whether this feature is enabled or disabled, as the line that follows shows. If a configuration option refers to a particular configuration parameter, the result can also be an integer in addition to a Boolean. The line that starts with "depends" indicates that in order for the "LED_SHELL" feature to be visible, the "SHELL" feature needs to be enabled. As a result, only after the "LED" and "SHELL" features have been enabled will the "LED_SHELL" feature become visible. A more detailed explanation of the feature can be found in the two lines that begin with "help". Last but not least, the final line before the "endif" lets us refer to additional Kconfig files, which aids in classifying components. As though they were copied and pasted, the features of the referenced file are present in the current file. It is crucial to remember that the path to "source" comes from the Zephyr codebase's root.

HOW SHOULD YOU USE KCONFIG?

A collection of applications that enable users to enable or disable the features listed in all Kconfig files make up the second component of the Kconfig infrastructure. Zephyr provides a Visual Studio Code extension that enables users to carry out this task with a graphical user interface. For command line enthusiasts like myself, the VS Code extension provides an alternative to utilizing a graphical user interface. In order to configure Zephyr appropriately, the extension can accept a file, which is the final component of the Kconfig infrastructure and contains a set of configuration options that can be turned on or off. The following snippet shows an example. CONFIG_BT=yCONFIG_BT_PERIPHERAL=yCONFIG_BT_GATT_CLIENT=yCONFIG_BT_MAX_CONN=1CONFIG_BT_L2CAP_TX_MTU=250CONFIG_BT_BUF_ACL_RX_SIZE=254

There is nothing complicated about the file format. "CONFIG_" appears at the start of each line, and then the configuration option's name. After the "=" symbol, the line either ends with a "y" to activate the feature or a "n" to deactivate it. In the example above, we configure the stack parameters and activate the Bluetooth stack in Zephyr along with specific stack features. "prj. conf," which contains user-defined features, is the default file in the majority of Zephyr-based applications.

 

CONCLUSION

The Zephyr Project RTOS provides a robust, vendor-neutral mechanism called the Kconfig infrastructure that allows us to fully configure our entire application. It can be used to control particular subsystems and peripherals within the MCU in addition to turning on or off individual stacks within the RTOS and setting configuration parameters.

How to enable sun shadows in TS3, on Parallels for 64-bit Macs

Disclaimer: Back everything up. I can't take responsibility if you mess up your game files and the game doesn't run. Make a pristine copy of any file before you edit it. All that said...

Who is this tip for?

TS3 doesn't recognise Parallels' simulated GPU. This means that even if you set all your graphics settings to max, sun shadows (shadows cast by objects outdoors) are not rendered.

An example of sun shadows being successfully rendered:

If you have no sun shadows, your game will not look like the above pic. You will see a drop shadow (dark circle) under the trunk of the tree but no detailed shadow. If that is the case, read on for...

How to Fix It

Go to Programme Files (x86) > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Game > Bin.

Copy GraphicsCards.sgr and GraphicsRules.sgr to a new location.

I recommend copying each file twice, with a copy of each in two folders marked 'Original' and 'Edited'. Then you have a spare copy of each under 'Original' that you can put back in the folder if you mess up.

Next go to Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 and open DeviceConfig.log.

Scroll down inside the log and copy exactly the values from:

Name (database):

Vendor

Chipset: Vendor: and

Chipset: Device:

to a new note for later.

You may have no Vendor at all, or it may be Parallels. Your graphics device may be Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM) or it may simply be Parallels Display Adapter. I've seen a few variations of each name online from various people Parallels VMs; it seems to be a bit random.

For example, my Vendor name is empty, and my graphics device Name (database) is Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM). My Chipset Vendor is 5404c42, and my Chipset Device is 0000.

Now open your new copy of GraphicsCards.sgr saved outside of Program Files. If you're not used to editing code I recommend downloading Sublime Text which is free, and changing syntax to C# under View which will allow you to check your entries more easily.

Go to the very bottom of the file, add a new line under the final end, and add the following:

vendor "" 0x card 0x "" end

Use tab to indent the 'card' line like in my screenshot above. Take a look at the note you made earlier:

Add your Vendor between the first set of quotes

Add your Chipset: Vendor: value after the first 0x.

Add your Chipset: Device after the second 0x.

Add your Name (database) between the final set of quotes.

Check your spacing matches the above screenshot. Save and close GraphicsCards.

Open your new copy of GraphicsRules.sgr which you saved outside of Program Files earlier.

Search for 'ATI' to find the right location.

Make a new line directly above elseif (match("${cardVendor}", "ATI")) and paste the following:

elseif (match("${cardVendor}", "")) if (match("${cardName}", "")) seti cardLevel $cardLevelUber seti isCardMatched true else seti cardLevel $cardLevelUber seti isCardMatched false endif setProp $ConfigGroup RenderShadowMode 2 setProp $ConfigGroup ShadowMapAllowNullColor 1

Make your indenting match the above screenshot. Again, referring to the note you made earlier:

Add your Vendor between the first set of empty quotes

Add your Name (Database) between the second set of empty quotes

Save the file and close it.

Now, copy your newly edited GraphicsCards.sgr and GraphicsRules.sgr files to Programme Files (x86) > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Game > Bin.

When asked if you want to replace the files, select yes (make sure you have a backup copy of the originals first!)

Check it has worked

Open TS3 and check for sun shadows.

If you have CAW, the quickest way to check sun shadows are rendering - without waiting for all of TS3 and a save to load - is to make a new small map, place a few trees then open Edit In Game. You need to open Edit In Game - this method doesn't fix sun shadows in CAW itself. Zoom right in to your trees and check for sun shadows.

If TS3 (or EIG) doesn't run, or crashes on loading, there is a problem with your syntax or with the values you've pasted in. Put your backed-up original GraphicsCards.sgr and GraphicsRules.sgr files back into Bin and ensure the game runs, then go back to try and find your mistake.

The tens of people, too many to link, who have experimented with varying degrees of success with how to fix this issue across Reddit, EA Forums, etc. I simply amalgamated the working advice and added that you must copy your own values from your own DeviceConfig file.

Tumblr theme coding tutorial - Popup ask box

1. Find this

<a href="/ask">

Replace it with this

<a href="javascript:open('askbox');">

2. Find this

<body>

Add this, right AFTER it

<script type="text/javascript"> function open(askbox) { var askcontainer = document.getElementById(askbox); if (askcontainer) {askcontainer.className=(askcontainer.className=='closed')?'open':'closed';} } </script> <div id="askbox" class="closed"> <a id="askboxbg" href="javascript:open('askbox');"></a> <div id="ask"> <h1>{AskLabel}</h1> <iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="190" src="https://www.tumblr.com/ask_form/__________.tumblr.com" style="background-color:transparent; overflow:hidden;" id="ask_form"></iframe><!--[if IE]><script type="text/javascript">document.getElementById('ask_form').allowTransparency=true;</script><![endif]--> </div> </div>

3. In the code above, replace the blank __________ with your username. For example I would replace the blank with lyrasthemes.

4. Next, find this

</style>

Add this, right BEFORE it

#askbox {position:fixed; z-index:20; width:100%; height:100%; background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.75);} #askbox.open {display:block;} #askbox.closed {display:none;} #askboxbg {display:block; width:100%; height:100%; position:absolute; z-index:1;} #askbox #ask {width:500px; padding:20px; position:absolute; z-index:2; left:50%; margin:100px 0 0 -270px; text-decoration:none; color:black; background-color:white;}
