Overly Repetitive Tedious Software (in Zig)

ZORTS is a simple scoreboard overlay for fighting games. The default design is compatible with Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, KOF XV, and Guilty Gear Strive.

It's also a rehash of GORTS but this time written in Zig using the excellent dvui instead of the ol' go-plus-tcl Frankenstein.

Features

ZORTS is heavily inspired by StreamControl but has a bunch of opinionated quality-of-life improvements:

  • Visible diff & easy undo: Changes not yet applied to stream are highlighted and can be discarded with the Discard button.

  • Player name + country import: Currently supports start.gg. Player data is saved as a csv file which can then be updated manually using any (decent) spreadsheet editor. See "How to use" section below.

  • Flexible player name suggestion as you type: unlike StreamControl, the suggestion logic ignores case, whitespaces, punctuations, or any special character.

  • Cross-platform: Runs on Windows & Linux. macOS support is unplanned but if you really need it, I'm open to contract work.

  • Dark mode, for those of you who like that sort of thing.

Download

You can download the ready-to-use program from either of these (choose the latest release then download zorts-windows.zip):

How to use

Just unzip then:

  • Run zorts.exe (or zorts on linux)
  • Open OBS => Add browser source => Point to http://localhost:1337
  • Browser size must be 1920x1080.
  • If you want to manually edit the list of player name suggestions, just edit players.csv with any text editor (notepad++) or spreadsheet editor (excel or libreoffice calc)
  • If you want to customize the look, open up the web folder and go wild. You only need basic HTML/CSS/JS knowledge to work on it. No fancy frameworks.

Development

There are multiple mirrors to pull from. Pick your poison:

Targets zig 0.16. See Makefile for useful commands.

Backlog:

  • start.gg tournament player import
  • build in ReleaseSafe mode instead of Debug once 0.17 drops (context)

Design

Just like (G)ORTS, the out-of-the-box design in ZORTS was done by hismit.

Icon

ZORTS's icon was lifted verbatim from Haiku OS: https://github.com/darealshinji/haiku-icons/blob/master/svg/App_MidiPlayer.svg
