@halcyon @csilverman @root42 iirc AD 3.0 also introduced their full-blown custom dynamic shared library linker/loader. I made a little progress deciphering it before giving up and just running the After Dark INIT inside the simulated system. After Dark 2.0 and More After Dark are definitely the sweet spot, more fun and more results for less effort. Oh hey, here's a screenshot from 2017. I never polished the interface as well as yours…

@gparker @csilverman @root42 Wow, you went down this road long before me! I’m also at the point of trying to decipher the 3.0 library behavior. Not a lot of progress yet. I agree, the 2.0 and MAD modules have had the best effort/reward ratio. Still, hoping I can somehow get over the 3.0 module blocker. So many great modules would be unlocked.

@gparker@discuss.systems @csilverman@mastodon.social @root42@chaos.social Ah, I'm super slow to recognize that you are Greg of Sealie Software. I sent you an email a couple weeks back re: Fringe Player, but maybe it was relegated to your spam folder. Your comment regarding the pain of the dynamic shared library was prescient, but after months of head+wall banging I've made big progress in getting most modules through 4.0 running! I'm really close to sharing this project.
