Three real bugs from the first pass, all from actually looking at the running app instead of just the code: - Icons rendered tiny regardless of source resolution: Gtk.Image caps displayed size to GTK's icon-size classes (built for symbolic 16/32px icons) no matter what you load into it. Switched to Gtk.Picture, which sizes by the image's real dimensions. - The popover's plain vertical list of rows squeezed down to a near- unreadable width: ScrolledWindow sizes to its content's minimum, not natural, size unless told otherwise, and a wrapping description label's minimum width can shrink to almost nothing. Replaced with a FlowBox grid (icon + blast radius under it, full description as a tooltip) with an explicit natural width. - That grid's column count was pinned to a fixed minimum, so a popover that didn't have the room for that many columns overflowed sideways and grew a horizontal scrollbar. min_children_per_line dropped to 1 (lets it reflow to fewer columns instead) plus hscrollbar_policy=NEVER as a hard backstop, not everyone has a horizontal scroll wheel. Also: the firing card's shell button now shows the icon alone (it already has the shell's short code baked in, a text label next to it was redundant on an already-tight row), sized to 64px wide/32px tall to actually be legible, and a new small CSS rule trims the excess button chrome around an icon-only face so the button isn't visibly much larger than the icon it holds. |

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.
Tests
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
pytest
Regression coverage for every intel-text format the OCR pipeline understands and the solver's geometry, in tests/. Run this before trusting a change to ocr.py/solver.py, several of the formats have collided with each other in non-obvious ways before.
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.
