i don't see enough people with one of the best tool improvements i've ever made for reverse engineering, so i had to write a blog post about it!

hey! i'm a queer cyborg who likes programming, linguistics, horror movies, and video games
@solemnwarning the full gradient looks really good! i think something like "rainbow" seems a fitting name, but it's not the most exciting :P
one note about your colors though, having 00 be more subtle than the rest is really helpful. if i had to pick just one byte to color, that'd be it!
@LucasWerkmeister thank you so much!! i spent a long time on my pure html/css tabs, i'm glad it's appreciated :D
@mrkite interesting!!! i'll definitely have to give it a shot
@hipsterelectron i actually don't use any reflection at all >.< 100% macro magic
@jhaas i really struggled to pick 16 colors that look distinct to my non-colorblind eyes, so that's definitely a concern. i don't think you lose _that_ much depending on how many colors blend together, but i'd love to see good colorblind-friendly palette options
@hipsterelectron i linked to some examples in the article, specifically https://github.com/simonomi/carbonizer/blob/6c311b6a2801576033cd42a8ba95461cee2ac6d1/Sources/Carbonizer/files/ff1/KPS.swift#L4-L25 and https://github.com/simonomi/carbonizer/blob/6c311b6a2801576033cd42a8ba95461cee2ac6d1/Sources/Carbonizer/files/ff1/DAL.swift#L20-L107 and https://github.com/simonomi/carbonizer/blob/6c311b6a2801576033cd42a8ba95461cee2ac6d1/Sources/Carbonizer/models/Texture.swift#L5-L28
@hipsterelectron it mostly came from the intuition of having look at so many different types of binary. stuff with really high information density (compressed, executable, media, etc) tends to look very busy, because there's simply more information squished into fewer bytes
i've ended up writing my own whole fancy binary parsing system for my tool carbonizer. it's pretty specialized to the patterns used in the game files for Fossil Fighters, but i'm reasonably happy with it overall
@phil_stevens ouuuu if you come up with anything cool make sure to @ me !!
@tully i'm afraid so, now you specifically aren't allowed to use colors i guess :P
