Under the hood

How ArkWeb connects the two games

Two-game bridge Spider-Man (hidden guest) and Arkham Knight (host DLL) both run; they exchange state through shared memory + collision stream. Spider-Man (hidden guest) Shared memory + collision stream Arkham Knight (host DLL) ⇄ ⇄
Two-game bridge. A hidden Spider-Man “guest” game runs the moves; a DLL in Arkham Knight shows them in Batman's place. Shared memory and a Python streamer pass Gotham's collision back.

How game mashups work compares this approach with the other two used in the catalog.

From the creator's README

Known limits before you install

Creator's status: “Status: experimental.” A research project with rough edges.

  • Building collision is often hollow, so you can swing through thin spires.
  • Fast swings into unloaded districts can leave gaps for a few seconds.
  • Your Arkham Knight save follows Batman, who keeps running hidden. Back it up, and don't leave Spider-Man under the map.
  • Other builds of Spider-Man refuse to hook.
