Arcade-plus

Arcade is a utility used to edit and preview aff files. The original Arcade repository was taken down due to GitHub's DMCA takedown policy (see the DMCA takedown request). The author of the original Arcade, cnSchwarzer aka Sch, refused to remove copyrighted content owned by Lowiro, the developer of Arcaea. Sch used a Chinese code hosting platform after that instead.

This project, Arcade-plus brings it back to GitHub. It does not contain any copyrighted content, but uses a skinning feature instead. We also have better commit messages and less bugs. What's more, we will add some new features, get some redesigns and do some performance optimizations.

The original commit history of Sch are not being included in this repository, since they contain copyrighted content.

Q&A

Arcade-plus does not work on my OS!

Arcade-plus is only completely tested on Latest Windows 11. However it should work on Windows 8 or 10 as well. Older versions of Windows are not supported.

Also, macOS and Linux support is experimental for now, if you find any bug that only happens on your OS, please help us by opening a bug-fixing pull request.

Why is there no localization feature in this version?

Localization feature was supported in old versions of Arcade. However, Sch decided to remove it because of bad code design and messy UI layout. Therefore, we removed this feature as well.

Since UI Layout has been completely reworked in this fork, adding localization feature back is somehow acceptable, but we decide to do some other work before that. Pull requests are always welcomed though.

The playfield does not look like the old Arcade!

Due to copyright issue, we can not use old graphic and sound assets. You need to find a set of skin yourself to make it back. The documentation of skinning is not available now, but you can read our implementation of skinning system to know the structure of skin folder for now.

I want to contribute to Arcade-plus!

Pull requests are always welcomed. But beware: please make sure you do not update Unity in your pull request. You can see our current using Unity version in ProjectVersion.txt.

We are planning to add some documentation for this project, but unfortunately for now you can only read the code. Sorry for that.
