kparser2

Game client

• Final Fantasy is a MMORPG with the Ashita addon system.
• The addon will be written in Lua.
• kpacket will publish game packets over ZMQ.

Desktop client

• The desktop client will be written in F#
• The desktop client kparser2 will subscribe to those game packets over ZMQ
• The desktop will extract the packets by parsing them into F# types.
• The desktop will provide a plugin system for the transform and load feature. This will allow user to write scripts to transform the game logic from packets to a database, then that database can be queried to load analytics to a UI pane that can be loaded in tabs or cards to display the output of many plugins at one time.

• The game and desktop client will typically be on the same computer.
• Alternatively, a user is playing on a Steam Deck and could parse from their laptop.
