note: requires love2d. also not foolproof. im using it to convert techmino mode maps into json. input comes from input.lua.

local input = require('input')

function tableToString(t)
    return "{" .. table.concat(t, ",") .. "}"
end

Introduction

This guide will teach you how to code modes, eventsets, language files, and more. Knowing the basics of programming logic is recommended before developing in Techmino. Feel free to suggest ideas. If you need help, you should use #ask-for-help-read-pins. This guide is currently in development. Last updated 18 Jan 2023. Migrated from the Discord in 14 Nov 2022.

Today (21 Jan 2022) I figured out how to reverse engineer Pickcrafter.

Step 1: Get a copy of PickCrafter. I use the .apk version. Step 2: Unzip the .apk (yes, .apks are .zips). Step 3: You'll need 2 files from the unzipped folder:

• \lib\arm64-v8a\libil2cpp.so
• \assets\bin\Data\Managed\Metadata\global-metadata.dat

You can copy them somewhere safe and easy-to-navigate through cmd. In my case I put it in the root directory of C:.
