Title: Well Plan9 ed Brent Thompson reanimation ?
Post by: Per Seus on July 09, 2016, 01:24:38 AM

Using Plan9's 9P with PTrace.  One can encapsulate a binary with ptrace schemes and offer the memory map of the process over 9P pseudo filesystem and allow ".exe" modification with a single tool, that allows for custom modification of the process memory via all sorts of ideas.

I used this idea to glue "civilization's" binary with "sim city" for an interesting hybrid game with just some RC script.

P.S. I hope we see Armageddon soon, I've been standing in line at this giant neon distraction for some time.

This here's some Darmok and wassisname at Tenagua talk - lots of modders here, but feedback tends to only happen when people know what you're talking about, which I sure don't.   -This is said in the spirit of helpfulness, not reproval, but would you care to run that past us again with a more mundane/linear phraseology?

San Diego Tech Center has a red sculpture called the "Star Gazer", Piccard's first ship.

The "modders" should read up on OOPs, I suggest LaLonde and Pugh's "Inside Smalltalk", POO developed at Xerox CRAP later improved by B.S. Bjarne.

Well, I have always found hydro inclusive, crushed lithospheric compounds to be more transparent than this...
