obs plugin that can detect game states and give that information to a layout

@codl randomizer trackers work like this, they hook into the memory of the emulator and watch game information

you could do something similar with anything else running on a computer

@codl though yeah you'd need something more involved if you want to look at stuff when all you have available is visual

@Felthry @codl hooking into memory gets iffy with anti-cheat but people have used computer vision to e.g. track what character people are playing

@noiob @Felthry either way I can't read memory because I'm playing on switch. Hence the obs plugin, obs is the only reliable way I have to pull video out of my capture card
