mfw I realize you can use C++ WINAPI COM IUIAutomation to communicate with Copilot directly and tell it do things like "execute this file" (Copilot is now Copiloting my malicious payload)

this actually pissed me off today because I needed a non-UWP app to test winapi shenanigans in and all I had was winmine from archive.org

I've had so many people tell me to check out Claude. I tried it with my malware stuff (C WINAPI) and this thing produced some S-tier slop.
It produced incredibly dangerous, over complicated, or straight up incorrect work.
It did do a good job with API searching and stuff. Claude showed

You have no idea how proud I was. We’re talking VB Forms textlabels of “+K+” floating real-time through an asteroids-style procedural sector map, a new weapon upgrade system, fully algorithmic audio for phasers. I hacked WinAPI calls to shake the window on taking damage.
I think I peaked at age 7.

Ah, makes sense.
I can't comment on gamedev, but the simplicity of VB6 for desktop apps is possible because the WinAPI is so bare bones. The WinAPI provides the tools and VB6 provides the sane defaults that work in 95% of cases. For the remaining 5%, you just drop down to the WinAPI.

Oop, forgot to reply.
So I'm guessing, stack space of a WinAPI function grew, overwrote a stack section higher up (lower addr).
Later, the game code then uses that stack space, by declaring a variable and then later reading it without initialization.
Oof, that's quite rough.

I don't want to be an obnoxious linux cretin and maybe winapi has things that should be studied for positive lessons (idk), but I've never really been interested in giving the time of day to something that's not cross platform.
