Windows Subsystem for Linux is awesome, but storing its files on the system drive can be limiting. Here’s how to move WSL distributions to another disk. List Containers wsl --list Sample output: Windows Subsystem for Linux Distributions: ubuntu (Default) docker-desktop-data docker-desktop Move a Container Shut down WSL to avoid issues: wsl --shutdown Export the container: wsl --export ubuntu N:\ubuntu.tar Unregister the container: wsl --unregister ubuntu Re-import to new location: wsl --import ubuntu N:\WSL\ubuntu N:\ubuntu.tar --version 2 (Optional) Delete the exported .tar file after verifying the setup. This approach preserves the distro while allowing full control over its storage location. ...
For reference, here is a SandCastle-produced help file for Sandbox.Common from Space Engineers 01.172. 👉 Download Documentation.chm Interesting Starting Points Sandbox.ModAPI.IMyGridProgram — All in-game scripts inherit from this interface. This documentation is especially useful when writing programmable block scripts for automation and custom logic in-game.
This is a short note on how we can develop scripts for use in the game Space Engineers. Background A friend suggested Space Engineers to me, so I bought it and after some scavenging, mining and dying—I tried out the Programmable Block. To my surprise, it used C#! There was one caveat though: the documentation was outdated and often unusable. I managed to piece together scripts using various posts on the official wiki, its Action List, and API List, plus some Reddit threads. ...
Sometimes we’re presented objects in JSON that do not directly map to a strongly typed object. Here’s a simple example: [ { "type": "Car", "wheels": 4, "trunk": true }, { "type": "Bicycle", "wheels": 2, "persons": 1 } ] The goal is to deserialize these into their respective types, Car and Bicycle, both inheriting from a shared base class Vehicle. JsonConverter JsonConverter allows you to customize how JSON is deserialized. Here’s an implementation that checks the type property and instantiates the appropriate object: ...
