TemTem Overlay

Created February 23, 2023

Description

(During open beta of TemTem in 2020?)
When playing TemTem me and my friends thought it was annoying to have to look up information about creatures with the web browser sitting on the other monitor constantly alt+tabbing. So I thought maybe I can create some kind of UI overlay for this.

Solution

Finding a GUI Framework to build windows applications that could overlay with a transparent background. Doesn't need to be super pretty, just functional.

Result

Looking back

During that time I didn't have much knowledge of other GUI frameworks to create window applications other than Unity. So due limited knowledge and the need for speed I found Win-forms, which in after thought I think any python GUI would've been a lot better to use since I wanted it quick and simple
