This is a collection of notes on how I manage multiple GitHub repositories. All repositories under my account are maintained using this system. Features I need the following: Standardized repository configuration — Easily change topics, descriptions, settings across all repos. Unified GitHub Actions workflows — Shared build, test, release pipelines (e.g., NuGet, Docker Hub).

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 There was one caveat though: the documentation was outdated and often unusable.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: ...
