Thanks for sharing, very inspiring. I love Rust for parsing video game replays / save files. I've authored a Rocket League replay parser (boxcars) and an entire suite of web visualizations (via Webassembly) for EU4 called pdx.tools https://pdx.tools

It's not easy to work with proprietary formats, but they've both become pretty popular, so I would 100% recommend sinking more time into this project as long as it scratches your itch. Gamers are always looking for more stats and deeper insights

Have you seen rerun.io? Also web assembly, sharing again the link from above https://sebosp.github.io/swarmy/public/0.5.1/2023-GSL-S1-RO1... Maybe you can use it too in your project! The guys from rerun are amazing and super helpful, had a call with them to discuss questions and possible uses too

No joke, rerun seems perfect for visualizing a game like rocket league. Thank you for the recommendation!
