About
Hi, I'm Timearc.
I've been a software developer for about 15 years, most of it in security and identity and access management: the systems that decide who can sign in and what they're allowed to do. Addons for WoW: Forever are what I build in my spare time, for the game I play.
How I build them
Data the game doesn't give you
The game only knows the items it has already seen, so Forever Leveling BiS carries its own database of over 3,500 items. A Python scraper builds it from Wowhead's WoW: Forever database, then checks it against the game client's own data tables and scans run in game.
Plans with a proof behind them
Waylaid Auction Helper charges each unit at its real listing price, picks the mix of crates with a knapsack search, and plans again with real listings until no other plan can be cheaper. A test checks it against brute force on 3,000 random markets.
Tested outside the game
Each addon runs headless in Python, with the WoW API stubbed out, so its logic and windows are tested without launching the game.
Released by CI
Pushing a version tag runs a GitHub Actions workflow that packages the addon and uploads it to CurseForge, so every release is built the same way.
Three languages
Every addon ships in English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, using the game's own names for things.
