I made the registry change and it didn't fix it. Most tools (including Windows' built-in File Explorer, and unzip tools) apparently still have the path length limitation built into the program/tool itself regardless of the registry setting. Check out the program I wrote. I think you'll find it useful.


I've got a link to ocrmypdf in my "Alternative Software" section in my readme here: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/PDF2SearchablePDF#a...

Are there any advantages you see of mine vs theirs? I'd like to know what features each has compared to the other.


I'll add PDF Sandwich to my readme here: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/PDF2SearchablePDF#a...

Issue opened: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/PDF2SearchablePDF/i...

Can you identify any pros/cons to my software over theirs, or vice versa?



I'd love to see you add some settings we can change, such as gravity and moment of inertia parameters, engine thrust force, and custom control keys.


Very cool game! I'm into controls and would love to write a PID controller for it to stabilize it and have it auto-follow my mouse, as a controls demo.

I'm not sure how best to capture it's state though (position, xy velocity, angular velocity, etc.), Nor how to integrate mouse into it.


Not a bad idea, though you would have to use bang-bang control since the thrusters are either full on or full off. I'm not sure if you can integrate anything as is, but when I release the source code you can try to build up from that.


Tapping the keys at a certain frequency is the same thing as PWM control, which gives you an duty-cycle-based analog-like control input. PWM is just on_time/(on_time + off_time), so there are a number of ways to do this even with the key input as you have it. Again, in summary: you can do PWM duty-cycle control or tap-frequency-control, which is really just the same thing.


How does it compare to the immensely popular JSON for Modern C++ library by nlohmann? https://github.com/nlohmann/json

Also, you should add your library to the JSON benchmarks here: https://github.com/miloyip/nativejson-benchmark#parsing-time


Performance, generally much faster. But they are approaching the problem from different perspectives. Nlohmann focuses on an owning dom like value, JSON Link focuses on parsing into user data structures, but has the ability to mix with a non owning pull parser when if makes sense.

I haven’t added it to that bench but it does it in about 4ms for the 3 files
