# GlueGD

GlueGD is a mod loader for Geometry Dash that does not require a modification

to any existing Geometry Dash files or an external injector or launcher.

## how it works

Windows applications search their own directory before searching System32 for

system libraries. Geometry Dash searches for `XINPUT9_1_0.dll`. We construct a

replacement DLL that injects our own code while manually opening the system's

XInput and forwarding Geometry Dash's XInput calls to the original DLL. In this

way, we can passively inject code without requiring the modification of any

existing game files.

GlueGD then does two things. The first is it retrieves all the necessary

symbols from the original `XINPUT9_1_0.dll` so that Geometry Dash thinks it

still has a valid XInput driver. The second is that GlueGD creates its own new

thread so that it can fully control the game.
