Yesterday I started looking for versions of The Sims Online that still remain, well, online, because I wanted to show off my progress with Project Dollhouse to my colleagues at EA. It took me a while but I found one. EA themselves hosted the client for a n*snip*

After God knows how many hours of faffing about, I finally have a working city renderer!
I suspect the texture mapping's off, and there's no real camera to speak of yet, but it works! And Lord allmighty does it look good.

Parlo - secure communication for .NET
24th August 2023

I released a quick update yesterday, version 1.1.0
The only difference is that it is also explicitly compiled for .NET (Core) 6.0, so you should be able to use it in those projects if you need to.
.NET Standard 2.1 *should* be compatible with .NET 6.0, b*snip*

I wasn't a developer, I wish I could say I was.
I was a localization tester. It's like being a game tester, only for linguistics.

Ehhh. Its asynchronous model seems like it was added as an afterthought and designed by committee. But the rest of the language is very kosher. Very similar to C#.

So this took a while, because I was working for EA Games all summer.
But Parlo finally exists as a nuGet package that you can include in your project via the package manager in Visual Studio. Hurray!
It also has a wiki that shows how use it to establish *snip*

Yeah, except you should save them as binary data as that makes them faster to work with.
And you should save them as COMPRESSED binary data. To that end, here's a variation of LZ compression that I managed to get ChatGPT to wrangle from C++ into a Bli*snip*
