Bohelper
Bohelper is an automated solver and information utility for BOOK OF HOURS by Weather Factory. BOOK OF HOURS is a game in which you restore an abandoned estate/library/prison in a world of secret magic. After filling several pages of a notebook with solutions for unlocking rooms and upgrading skills, I made a CLI tool to help inform some decisions, such as when taking a new skill would grant a new crafting recipe, or reminding me which books to read to gain which resource. Bohelper reads your save file to determine which actions are available to you, and what things you still need. Unfortunately, the game sometimes gets a little crashy when tabbing out, so I bolted on the axum framework and built a web frontend that I could access with my phone over LAN. I also built an item browser, so you can search for items based on what properties they have (“I want a tool that will help me with this scale challenge”).
The problem with automating games in this way is they quickly stop being the game they were built to be. The upside is that the whole task becomes an entirely new game of your own creation.
