Prototype: Fallout hacking buddy

· 4 min read

Fallout is one of my favorite game series. The hacking minigame isn't bad, but there is a lot of it, so it can get tedious. The purpose of this tool is to simplify solving the minigame.

The "perfect" version of this tool would be the following:

  • When I come across a locked terminal in game, I snap a photo of the screen with my phone
  • That photo is automatically converted to a game board in the tool
  • When I make a guess in the game, I enter the "Likeness" reported by the game, into the tool
  • The tool would then analyze what we know so far, and automatically eliminate certain candidates

The main thing I care about right now is the logic to iteratively eliminate candiates.
