Geode

Features

Game Modding Toolkits - Provides a comprehensive SDK for creating custom modifications for Geometry Dash by injecting code and altering behavior.
Mod Loaders - Injects dynamic libraries into Geometry Dash to alter game behavior and add new features.
Mod Compatibility Layers - Tracks active modifications and hooks in a central registry to prevent conflicts and crashes.
Hook Registries - Provides a centralized registry of active function hooks to detect and resolve logic conflicts.
Manifest-Driven Dependency Managers - Uses JSON metadata files to determine mod load order and version compatibility before initialization.
Function Hooking - Intercepts and redirects internal game function calls to execute custom logic.
Game Software Development Kits - Offers a full development kit for building mods with integrated symbol resolution and dependency management.
Mod Loading Systems - Manages mod loading, unloading, and updates through a publish-subscribe event system.
Mod Compatibility Layers - Implements built-in compatibility checks to ensure multiple third-party modifications coexist without crashing.
Trampoline-Based Hook Engines - Redirects execution from original game functions to mod code while preserving the native call stack.
Dynamic Library Loading - Implements the loading of external shared libraries at runtime to extend game functionality.
Runtime Symbol Resolution - Locates game function addresses at startup by analyzing the binary's exported symbols and debug information.
Hook Registries - Implements a centralized registry to track all active function overrides and resolve logic conflicts between multiple mods.
Event-Driven Plugin Registries - Coordinates mod loading and unloading through a publish-subscribe event system.
Application Interface Extensions - Enables the injection of custom popups and interface components directly into the game's scene graph.
UI Extensions - Extends the game's UI system by adding custom node types rendered within the scene graph.
Dependency Specifications - Uses JSON manifests to declare versioning and dependency requirements for mod initialization.
DSL for Function Hooking - Allows writing hooks using inline syntax to avoid manual management of calling conventions.
Scene Graphs - Integrates custom UI nodes directly into the game's hierarchical rendering tree.
Isolated Execution Sandboxes - Runs mod code in isolated execution contexts to restrict unauthorized memory access and system calls.
Application Logic Hooks - Intercepts existing functions to execute custom code or trigger new interface elements.
Custom UI Component Frameworks - Provides a framework for creating custom popups and interface components within the game's scene graph.

JNA is a foreign function interface and native memory mapper that allows Java applications to call functions in shared native libraries without writing custom JNI wrapper code. It serves as a JNI alternative framework for invoking C functions and mapping native data structures using high-level interfaces. The library distinguishes itself through its ability to translate Java objects and primitives into C-style structs, unions, and pointers for cross-platform memory exchange. On Windows, it provides a dedicated toolkit for interacting with Component Object Model objects using both early and la
