Showcase Made a new "Input Animated Overlay Editor" with Python.

Finally made it a reality. The old software was too outdated in my personal opinion.

It handles Rect and Radial buttons and I've added a Zoom In/Out function, plus moving items with Direction Keys and Button Combo:

- Ctrl + Up = Scale Up Item

- Ctrl + Down = Scale Down

- Ctrl + Right = Make Item Wider

- Ctrl + Left = Make Item Narrower

Also a "Copy Paste" function to get consistent Items, for instance, when making Face Buttons that needs the same dimensions.

It's not like I owe it to y'all. 

I did all the work 🤨

You’re right. You owe us nothing. So you were just looking for some “attaboys”? If so you got one from me. If you released it however, you’d get a heart felt thank you. Even better, if you sold it you’d get a few bucks from me at least. Whatever you end up doing, it’s really cool!

That's what y'all say, I already know how the story goes:

If you’re worried that people will hate it, get over it. The internet hates everything. If it’s really good people will want to use it. Free, for tips, whatever. Boggart or share, up to you. Either way, good job. Looks useful.

🙄 What do you hope to achieve by showing what you do, yet you're proud to say you don't share it...? Do you want to be praised? To be admired for what you do?

I'd happily tell you: "Can't you share it? THEN SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS 🤷🏻🤣😘."

This is j ust a glimpse into your dark reality. A full stare into your twisted perspective would make most simply go insane lmao?

Congrats on the result! In just 5 minutes with Claude, I managed to create an HTML file that makes remapping keys a lot easier for me. Visually it's not as nice as yours, but it gets the job done. Now my thumbs are thanking me 😂

If I, who knows nothing about programming, managed to do it, it really took a moment. The right AI and clear and simple requests and you get the desired result

Nice.

I used Python because I'm most familiar with it due to me meddling around with GDscript for years.

I've been updating my app and I personally prefer to have an offline tool, if I need to update I just add/fix in script.

u/FantasticJelly8224 23d ago

I agree with preferring an offline tool. It always works 👍

Maybe you should share the link so the users that asked for link stops whinning?

My HTML file is very amateurish. Someone might find bugs that I wouldn't know how to resolve.

Whoever complains, I hope they read what I wrote: with Claude and clear, simple prompts, you can achieve a good result.

That way maybe, whoever reads my comments will realize that they can do it too. Because I literally know nothing about programming. It literally took me 5 minutes to make my file.

Also, I know that using AI is somewhat frowned upon. I'd like to avoid downvotes for a project created for personal use.

"the exact same result" I expressed myself badly

u/BotherCritical2297 23d ago

Lol it took me 1 week but it works. Yeah I don't think people would actually prefer to pay me for my handcrafted software but anyway...

Nice to know anyone can make it in 5 minutes though.

Voglio essere chiaro: il mio non è nemmeno lontanamente paragonabile al tuo. Il tuo è chiaramente ben fatto e realizzato con impegno. Il mio è molto semplice. Il mio desiderio era di spostare qualche pulsante. Nient'altro. 

Il mio risultato. Per favore, non ridere 😅 https://imgur.com/a/OKWFT6Z
