For a side project i’m taking a look at how to extract information from Apex Legends (for starters) game play videos. Example screenshot:

There is a log on top right corner and player status on bottom left corner (health/shields).

Id like to:

- extract <player A username> killed <player B username> with <weapon name> (at time mm:ss) from log, and other information displayed on that log

- from player health extract health/shields percentage (at what time)

Also detect game start/end screens and possibly extract info from them like which characters compose the current player squads.

Apart from OCR, what kind or specific techniques should i learn to implement this ?

I've sparingly been working on a side project for a while by myself and i've considered teaming up with a technical co-founder, for known positive reasons. In the far past i placed some ads on "co-founder dating" websites for other projects but eventually didn't follow through for several reasons like

- trust issues in starting a co-founding relationship with a stranger (though i worked for startups/clients remotely for years)

- difficulties in setting criteria for selecting a person

Though not vital for my current goal of launching an MVP/proof of concept, I’m thinking about giving co-founder dating another go and wondering if anybody knows of success cases (co-founders that met and eventually launched a minimally successful startup project) ?
