About The Project

• .NET (will be automatically installed during installation)

Roadmap and Known Bugs

Please check the issues tab before making a new issue.

Built With

• WPF
• C#
• .NET 6.0

I knew none of these things before making this lol

Packages that I used/ recommend

• RestSharp for API requests
• System.Text.Json to deserialise JSON. Source generators are a Godsend
• Windows Community Toolkit MVVM for MVVM. Ty for Source Generators too
• AutoUpdater.NET for auto updates
• Inno Setup to install NOWT
• FontAwesome for icons. I'm also supposed say that I changed the colours so here it is

Why I Made This

The main reason I made this was to detect smurfs. This app basically settles the debates between team members or the enemy. The set of available features was chosen carefully to maintain the competitive integrity of the game. Many suggestions that I get are declined due to this (unless a certain "competing" verified app implements it).

Another reason to making this was that I wanted some experience with .NET and GUI apps. This application uses C# as the backend, WPF as the frontend and .NET as the framework. I knew none of these when I began, so this was a fun journey. I've gained alot of experice of how to and how not to (mostly the latter) use WPF and C#.
