Dungeon Mapper 0.2 alpha

So I’ve been playing a bit of Arcana lately on the SNES, and due to the inadequacies of the built-in automap, I’ve been trying to keep my own map. Unfortunately, the “best” solution I’ve found so far is still grid paper; Dungeon Crawl Map Maker without the Bullshit is pretty close, but it’s far too slow and fidgety with the current mouse interface.

So I’ve decided to start writing something myself. The goal of this program is to be fast, precise and keyboard-driven. The idea is to simply move a cursor around the map and quickly draw walls & floors without constantly switching and clicking all over the place. This is a preview version to get people’s opinions on the idea and control scheme, etc.

Import M3U

Posted on January 2nd, 2008 @ 5:33 pm by Zerker

Import M3U is an applescript designed to import the contents of an M3U playlist into a new iTunes playlist. The default import only seems to handle M3Us describing internet locations; no matter how I formatted my playlist it would not import it. I wrote this to ease my transition to iTunes since I had previously used M3U for all my music playlists. (more…)

Delete Empty Folders

Posted on December 29th, 2007 @ 12:39 pm by Zerker

And the first of my small tools is now online!

Delete Empty Folders started with the difficulty of finding leftover folders after uploading work to configuration management. The original version of this was actually just a simple Windows Script using everyone’s favourite File System Object to parse around. That version was eventually given a simple GUI but doesn’t really do anything else.

Moving forward, I was messing around with the .NET SDK at home and decided re-creating this simple tool would be a good exercise. Only this time, I started with the GUI upfront and added in the capability to delete files as well (since standard Windows delete stops as soon as it can’t delete one thing). I also added drag+drop support, which is very handy for this sort of program. Later on, I also added the capability to clean up hidden files and such.

Modes:

Deletes folders with no remaining files
Deletes all files in a path; reports errors without stopping
Deletes UNIX-style hidden files (any file starting with a period, like .DS_Store)
Deletes Windows/DOS-style hidden files (hidden attribute set)

This program is written using the .NET Framework 2.0, so you will require the redistributable before you can run the program. There is no installer, simply copy the EXE file to the directory of your choice.
