WindowSmash: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on PC

WindowSmash doesn't just emulate Super Smash Bros. Ultimate; it translates the entire game into a native Windows program on your own computer. While standard emulators translate instructions in real-time, this toolkit converts the console code into C once, ahead of time, and compiles it directly into a standard executable. This static approach means the game runs as a true PC application, handling graphics through DirectX and networking through a local wireless relay. It requires your own game files and a bit of patience for the initial build, but the result is a native port that runs on your own hardware.

Teach AI to Test Your Code

Give your AI coding assistant a proper testing playbook with qaskills. It is a curated collection of specific skills that you plug directly into tools like Claude Code or Cursor. Instead of relying on generic guesses, the agent follows precise, human-written instructions for everything from API checks to accessibility audits. The real magic is that you can hand your AI a specific test strategy and it actually executes it correctly. No more wondering if the bot knows what it is doing. It becomes a genuine QA partner. Grab a skill, drop it in, and watch your coding agent start working like a seasoned tester.

📦 script-gd/gdcc

GDCC: Godot's Fastest Script Compiler

GDCC is the compiler that turns your Godot scripts into native machine code. While standard Godot scripts run line by line through an interpreter, which creates a noticeable speed ceiling, GDCC takes those same scripts and compiles them down into binary modules before your game even starts. This means the code runs directly on your processor instead of being read and executed in real time. The result is a significant jump in performance, making heavy calculations and complex logic feel snappy and responsive. It’s a simple way to get professional-level speed without rewriting your entire project in C.

Herk Edit Kit: AI Edits Your Videos

Herk Edit Kit is the AI assistant that finally lets an agent do the heavy lifting on your video edits. It is a set of instructions for coding assistants that teach them to cut dead air, fix stumbles, and add motion graphics directly to your footage. The coolest part is that the AI does not just guess where to cut. It reads a transcript of your actual speech. It finds the exact moments where you pause or repeat a word, and it removes them. You get a tight, professional reel from a raw recording, all from your terminal. If you make videos, this is your new editing partner.

Chiasmus: Prove Your Code

Chiasmus gives language models the power to mathematically prove that software behaves correctly, moving beyond simple guessing to absolute certainty. It connects chatbots to formal solvers that check every possible scenario, catching hidden bugs in logic or security rules that standard testing often misses. This means you can ask if specific code paths are unreachable or if conflicting rules exist, getting a definitive yes or no instead of a vague estimate. It transforms how developers verify complex systems, ensuring that critical logic holds up under any condition. This project bridges the gap between flexible AI and rigorous mathematical proof, making advanced verification accessible without needing a PhD in computer science.

UnbiasedStrata: The Minimal AI Server

This C++ project runs massive language models on a single graphics card without needing Python, internet access, or complex installers during operation. It takes a well-known inference engine and strips away the heavy server framework, replacing it with a lightweight tool that compiles directly from source. You simply copy your model file to the machine, run one build command, and the server is ready to serve requests. No background daemons, no hidden dependencies, and no network calls required after the initial setup. It is the bare-bones approach to local AI, proving that you can get high performance from a stripped-down system.

Claude PXL: Drawing Pixel Art with Code

Paint entire animated pixel scenes directly from a single code file. This tool lets you write compact scripts that generate sprite sheets, GIFs, and a live browser viewer. The most surprising part is how it works as an agent skill. You can hand a brief to an AI, and it will write the code, check its own work, and let you watch it paint pixel by pixel in real time. It handles complex lighting, character rigs, and 3D perspective all through text commands. You do not need to open an art program. You just describe what you want, and the system builds it.

Play inFamous on PC without an emulator

inFamous Reborn lets you play the 2009 PlayStation 3 game inFamous natively on your Windows PC without an emulator. Instead of simulating the console, it converts the game's PowerPC and SPU code directly into standard C++ so your computer runs it like a normal program. The most interesting part is that you don't even need a prebuilt executable; the tool takes your own disc dump, rewrites the code on the fly, and builds it right on your machine. It’s a clever way to run old console games with modern performance. If you own the game and have a compatible PC, you can finally run it without emulation overhead.

LogonStealer: Stealing Passwords From The Windows Login Screen

A rogue plug-in can now hook directly into the Windows login screen to capture your password in plain text before it is even checked. This project, called LogonStealer, works by disguising itself as a standard credential handler that Windows automatically loads during sign-in. Because it taps into the low-level interface that manages the password box, it records every keystroke regardless of which login method you select. This bypasses the modern security layers that usually hide these inputs from third-party software, making it a critical insight for understanding the limits of current logon protection.
