New shape: '<Name>#<id> pinned!' followed by '<Shell> Shells requested on <coord>' and 'Requested before - <T-time> -'. Different from every existing coord shape (no 'Grid' keyword), so it needed its own extractor (_extract_requested_on_coord), plus new ones for the shell code and the deadline string. New TargetType.MARINE_GARRISON, its multi-word name + real digit id already works through the existing squash_multiword_ids() pipeline (same as Coastal Battery/Listening Post) with no new header regex needed. Target gained a requested_time field (raw string, this app doesn't track a game clock to compare it against), persisted through save/load and shown on the map below the coord label. The requested shell sets target.shell directly rather than staying a suggestion, matching how a manually-picked shell already works. info.targets' value tuple grew from 3 to 5 elements (raw, clues, coord, shell, requested_time); updated both call sites in app.py that unpack it. Verified end to end: parse -> merge -> save/load round trip -> map draw. |

FeNigma
Fe (iron) + enigma, we solve the geometric puzzles.
A companion app that mostly automates IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator for you. Select the game's typewriter orders (selecting text in-game copies it to your clipboard automatically) and it solves the geo puzzle and the trajectory math, handing you ready-to-fire commands: elevation, azimuth, number of powder charges. Screenshotting works the same way when a selection isn't practical. Select or screenshot the field log the same way and it picks up kills and newly-spotted units automatically. You can also plan strikes and scout flights of your own. Pure screen-reading, no game files touched, no input injected.
What it does
- Reads orders, solves the geometry. Copy (or screenshot) the in-game typewriter text and it parses absolute grid refs and relative bearing/distance descriptions, then resolves everything into map coordinates, chained clues ("Bearing 293 from Alpha") included. The map shows its work: the actual bearing lines/circles behind each resolved position. When a description is genuinely ambiguous (two intersections), both candidates are shown instead of guessing.
- Calculates the shot. Every resolved target gets a live firing card: elevation, azimuth, and minimum powder charge, computed from the Nest.
- Tracks the battle. A second copy/screenshot of the field log marks units destroyed and folds in newly-spotted contacts, merging with what's already known instead of duplicating it.
- Plans strikes. Drop a strike anywhere on the map and pick a shell to preview its blast radius before committing.
- Plans scout flights. Click the map to plot a scout flight's sweep path: it anchors to the large grid square you're pointing at and reads the heading off exactly where in that square you click, previewed live before you commit.
- Watches the clipboard for you. Toggle auto-watch and every new screenshot or copied intel text gets read and merged automatically, no manual fetch between orders.
Install
./install.sh
Sets up a venv for the Python deps (Pillow, numpy, pytesseract) and checks for the system packages that pip can't install: GTK4/libadwaita bindings and tesseract. If either is missing it prints the package names for your distro and stops, install those and re-run.
Run
./run.sh
Uses the venv from install.sh if one exists, otherwise falls back to system python3. GTK apps with this app ID are single-instance, if a run gets killed uncleanly it can leave a zombie registered on D-Bus and silently no-op the next launch. If ./run.sh seems to do nothing, pgrep -af fenigma and kill any stragglers first.
Stack
GTK4 + libadwaita (PyGObject) for the UI, Tesseract (via pytesseract) for OCR, Pillow/numpy for preprocessing. Details on the coordinate system, OCR formats, and solver internals live in code comments (solver.py, ocr.py, models.py) rather than here.
