UberMycro (also known as UM) is a powerful C# assembly that contains many versatile helper classes. It was developed by UW.
The library was first released on June 10th 2017, and was labeled v1.1. Currently, the latest release of UM is labeled v3.1, and was released on October 29th, 2018.
UberMycro hasn't been publicly released yet, as it was meant to be used by UW alone. However, it has been privately distributed to other developers. The author plans to release it to the public in the future, after some improvements are made.
¶ Features
The UberMycro library contains multiple namespaces, which are listed below.
¶ Arrays
Used to manipulate and generate arrays. Also contains smooth noise generation methods, such as Perlin Noise and Simplex Noise.
¶ Audio
Used to manipulate WAVE and MIDI audio. Also contains raw WAVE data generation methods for multiple wave types.
¶ Cryptography
Contains multiple classes used to encrypt, decrypt, and hash data. Also supports HMAC, and simple ciphers, like Atbash, ROT and Morse Code.
¶ Extensions
Contains various extensions for objects, such as int.Factorial and string.OpenStreamReader.
¶ Forms
Used to manipulate Forms elements. Also contains Panel subclasses.
¶ Imaging
Used to manipulate images, colors, and bitmaps.
¶ IO
Used to manipulate bytes, byte arrays, files, and streams. Also contains string manipulation methods.
¶ Compression
Subset of the IO namespace. Contains LZMA and Zip compression methods.
¶ Utils
Contains miscellaneous classes, like a LKUM package manipulator and a process monitor.
¶ Backstory
UW used to store frequently used methods inside a class named LiteClass. However, the size of the class grew quickly, and he felt the need to create a separate library which contained all of his helper methods. Thus, UberMycro was born.
The library was used in tens (if not hundreds) of UW's projects, and also in some other projects to which UW collaborated.
¶ Logo
The logo of the library was changed a few times. In the end, however, the original logo was chosen.

The logos were sometimes shown on the splash screens of the projects developed using UberMycro.

¶ Trivia
-
while in early development, UM was originally named LiteClass.
-
the name UberMycro comes from Uber Micro (uber meaning dominant, and micro meaning micromanagement). It represents the ability to control many things at the same time, specifically in RTS games. The name suits the library, because of the vast amount of classes contained inside the library.
-
it is one of the biggest C# projects written by UW, superseded only by The Exom Assembly.
