Modder Application – StarLab DX Speedrun Practice Mod

[mizok]

Hi! I'd like to apply for the Modder role.

I'm currently working on StarLab DX, a speedrun practice and training mod for SM64CoopDX.

GitHub:
GitHub - mizook/sm64-starlab-dx

The mod is still in beta, so I'm not submitting it as a finished public release yet. I'm mainly sharing it here as an example of my Lua/modding work and to demonstrate my current understanding of the SM64CoopDX API.

Some of the features currently implemented include:

• Individual star practice
• Practice checkpoints for saving/loading Mario's position
• PB and partial timing
• Custom speedrun routes
• Route editing and ordering
• Timer and splits
• Attempt history
• Controller-driven menus
• Persistent configuration/data
• English and Spanish UI

I've tried to keep the code modular and maintainable, with separate systems for practice, runs, UI and storage instead of keeping everything inside a single Lua file.

Installation is also designed to be simple: the starlab-dx folder can be placed directly inside the SM64CoopDX mods directory.

I'm continuing to test and improve the mod before considering it ready for a proper release, but I hope the current codebase is enough to showcase my abilities for the Modder role.

Thanks for taking a look!
