A whole bunch of AutoHotkey scripts from around 2009-2013, including archives from several now long-defunct websites and forum posts. Most of them actually still run!
AutoHotkey is how I learned to program. The main thing I remember is the extremely friendly and welcoming community. It's a special place to me, particularly due to regulars such as tidbit, Bugz000, and infogulch.
It's been nearly a decade now since I've used Windows full-time. Half of the scripts in this collection are incomplete, but I might as well publish this for historical and nostalgic purposes. Link rot seems to have taken a lot of interesting things offline, so hopefully this helps people looking for that!
Also, if you were a part of the community in the 2009-2013 era, I'd be happy to hear from you if you say hi at [email protected] :)
- Lots of saved scripts, libraries, and collections from the AutoHotKey forums
- In particular, a full archive of AutoHotKey.net from ~10 years ago
- Some programs that are hard to find elsewhere, such as this AutoHotkey decompiler (actually, it just extracts the source code out of the packed executable!)
- A custom platformer game with flexible game engine, music, and loadable levels.
- I later tried to abstract the entity framework in this game into its own separate game engine.
- A 2D physics engine with constraints and springs
- A 2D graphics library using GDI+.
- A programming language called Autonomy (interestingly, it also had its own bytecode format and a peephole optimizer! an extremely valuable learning experience)
- A unit test framework made together with the irreplaceable
infogulch - A database library supporting SQLite3.
- A circuit designer for Minetest, a Minecraft-like video game (specifically, Mesecons, a Minetest mod, for which I added support for a zero-tick NOT gate).
- A parallel processing library, which I'd now describe as "Python's multiprocessing but for AHK".
- A static site generator. I didn't know it was called that at the time!
- A Fisher classifier library
- The one script I had that actually uses AHK for its intended purpose, hotkeys
- A webserver built on top of Winsock.
- An IRC library (I remember there was a bot built on top of this too, but can't find it anymore)
- A minifier that... operations almost entirely through regular expressions!
I don't own all of the code in this repo - specifically the stuff under @Saved - but for the stuff that was written by me, I hereby release under the MIT License.
