Overview
A suite of tools for the Flee The Facility trading community — scraping current item values, inventorying a user’s sets and quantities, and calculating total trade value automatically.
Components
1. Value Scraper Scrapes the FTF values website to download the current worth of every set, keeping the database up to date without manual entry.
2. Inventory Recorder Scans the user’s in-game inventory screen, identifies each set by name, and records the quantity held. Uses image comparison for the ~5% of gem/hammer names that OCR misreads — reference images were saved for each item and used to verify or correct the OCR output.
3. Value Calculator Combines the scraped values with the recorded inventory to compute total trade value per item and overall.
Database Design
The underlying database is normalised to Third Normal Form (3NF) — efficient storage, easy to correct errors in individual records without cascading updates.
Planned Features
- Automatic total value calculation combining all three tools end-to-end
- Historical value tracker and trend predictor based on collected price data
