Time for another update on my “whenever I have time” project - OpenSpartan. I’ve done a few changes to the code base preparing for the first public alpha.

As folks might know, in my free time I am building a Halo Infinite companion app called OpenSpartan. It now supports medal visualization.

An update on the OpenSpartan development and how data within the app is stored.

I alluded to the fact that in my free time I am building a little project called OpenSpartan. I thought I’d share a bit more as to what it is.

As I am building out my OpenSpartan project as the experience to analyze stats for Halo Infinite, I wanted to have a quicker way to analyze my performance.

I am ashamed to admit that for all the nerding out I am doing around Halo I did not know that there is a Halo Museum up until a few weeks ago.

Earlier this year I bootstrapped a project called OpenSpartan. Its intent is to primarily fill a gap for those that want to tap into Halo Infinite data - the developers that build tools such as Halo Data Hive and others.

If you’ve been following some of my recent work, you might’ve caught my latest blog post on enabling hidden game modes and maps in Halo Infinite. Well, clearly my curiosity got the best of me, because this post is very much a continuation of that story.

You might’ve seen over the course of the past couple of months since the Halo Infinite release some news and rumors about upcoming game modes in the game. I wondered how those folks got their hands on the new experience and just assumed that it’s typical data mining in game files to look for new assets.

If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you probably already know that I spend inordinate amounts of time on reverse engineering the Halo Infinite API.

Back in January I mentioned that I managed to continue the tradition of beating Halo on Legendary with the release of Infinite.

Getting visibility into your match performance outside the game.

Making sure you have the right tokens to make Halo API web requests.

How I managed to learn the about the Halo Infinite web API endpoints.

What better way to spend the couple of remaining vacation days than by diving into the new Halo campaign.
