Where to Find the Source Code or Contact the About Patsy Developer
Updated
The About Patsy page lists two direct routes: source code is hosted on Bitbucket at bitbucket.org/coderpatsy/, and the developer can be reached by email at animperfectpatsy at gmail dot com (written that way on the page to avoid scraping — assemble it as a normal address before sending). The page also links a public repository for the Kittens Game Save Editor utilities, so the editor code specifically is browsable rather than only downloadable.
Source code locations
| What you want | Where it is | Notes from the page |
|---|---|---|
| All projects by this developer | bitbucket.org/coderpatsy/ |
The page points here as the main code host |
| Kittens Game Save Editor utilities | Public repo linked from the page | Described as a public repository, so you can read the code before using the tool |
| Licensing for reuse | license.txt on the site |
"Unless otherwise noted, all code is released under an MIT license" |
The MIT license note matters if your goal is modification rather than just reading: it covers the code generally, with the page's own caveat that individual items may be noted otherwise. Check the specific project before assuming the same terms apply.
Contacting the developer
The only contact channel listed is email: animperfectpatsy at gmail dot com. The page does not list a contact form, social profile, or issue tracker address, so email is the route to use for questions, bug reports, or permission requests beyond what the license already grants.
When writing, be specific about which tool you mean — the site covers several unrelated projects (see below), and a message that names the tool and the page will get a faster, more useful reply.
What the developer actually maintains
Knowing the project list helps you pick the right repository or ask the right question:
- Save decoder — a simple interface for decoding and encoding incremental game saves, specifically ones that use LZString to compress JSON into base64.
- Kittens Game utilities — Save Editor (public repo), Catnip Calculator, Unicorns Calculator, Energy Calculator, Max Science Calculator.
- Cookie Clicker utilities — Cookies Calculator, Cookies Save Editor, Cookies Buildings Price Calculator.
The page also credits the developer as a contributor to Kittens Game, with the game attributed to bloodrizer. That credit is context, not a support channel — game-related questions belong with the game, while tool-related questions belong to this developer.
Practical notes before you reach out
- Check the repo first. For the Save Editor, the public repository is the fastest way to see how a calculation or save transformation works; many "how does this work" questions are answered in the code itself.
- Match the tool to the game. The save decoder is described as working on saves that use LZString-compressed JSON in base64 — the same family of format used by the incremental games listed. If your save is from a different game or a different format, the decoder may not apply.
- No pricing or account details are stated on the page. The presence of a PayPal reference on the site does not by itself tell you whether any tool requires payment or login, so treat access terms as unconfirmed until you see them on the specific tool page.
If your goal is simply to reuse code, start with the Bitbucket account and confirm the license file for the project you want; if your goal is to report a problem or ask about a specific calculator, email is the listed path.
