## Overview

#### Purpose and Build Entry
MeatyEFTRelease is a Windows C++ companion/radar for Escape from Tarkov. It runs outside the game process, reads game state through DMA/VMM facilities, and presents live radar and helper data. Build/open entry is `MeatyEFTRelease.slnx`; executable startup is expected in `MeatyEFTRelease/main.cpp`, with the Visual Studio project at `MeatyEFTRelease/MeatyEFTRelease.vcxproj`.

#### Application Orchestration
The top-level runtime coordinates configuration, global state, background work, and rendering. `MeatyEFTRelease/main.cpp` is the process entry point; `MeatyEFTRelease/globals.cpp` and `MeatyEFTRelease/app/globals.h` provide shared application state. `MeatyEFTRelease/taskManager.cpp` and `MeatyEFTRelease/app/taskManager.h` indicate a task-based control boundary for recurring work such as game-state updates and external queries.

#### Memory and Input Boundary
The memory layer isolates low-level interaction with the target environment and hardware/software DMA stack. `MeatyEFTRelease/memory/Memory.cpp` and `MeatyEFTRelease/memory/Memory.h` are the primary access abstraction; `MeatyEFTRelease/memory/Registry.cpp` and `MeatyEFTRelease/memory/InputManager.cpp` support environment discovery and input handling. Runtime dependencies include MemProcFS/VMM and LeechCore binaries/libraries represented by `MeatyEFTRelease/libs/vmm.lib`, `MeatyEFTRelease/libs/leechcore.lib`, and associated headers.

#### Game-State Extraction and Domain Model
Game modules translate raw memory into Tarkov-specific entities and world state. `MeatyEFTRelease/game/maingame.cpp` and `MeatyEFTRelease/game/game_world.cpp` appear to establish the active game/world context. Entity readers cover players, loot, camera, extracts, explosives, quests, and dogtags, including `MeatyEFTRelease/game/players.cpp`, `MeatyEFTRelease/game/loot.cpp`, and `MeatyEFTRelease/game/questManager.cpp`. Unity-facing types/helpers form the key boundary between raw reads and domain objects: `MeatyEFTRelease/game/headers/unitysdk.h` and `MeatyEFTRelease/game/headers/sdk.h`.

#### Radar Rendering and UI
The presentation pipeline converts extracted game state into an interactive DirectX9/ImGui view. Rendering is centered on `MeatyEFTRelease/render.cpp`, `MeatyEFTRelease/app/render.h`, and `MeatyEFTRelease/app/draw.h`; map data is managed through `MeatyEFTRelease/maps.cpp` and `MeatyEFTRelease/app/maps.h`. The desktop/window boundary is `MeatyEFTRelease/DxRenderWindow.cpp` with `MeatyEFTRelease/app/DxRenderWindow.h`. ImGui’s Win32/DX9 backends are vendored in `MeatyEFTRelease/external/imgui/backends/imgui_impl_win32.cpp` and `MeatyEFTRelease/external/imgui/backends/imgui_impl_dx9.cpp`.

#### Live Data, Persistence, and Updates
Network-backed enrichment is separated from local game reads. `MeatyEFTRelease/game/tarkovdevquery.cpp` suggests Tarkov.dev data retrieval, while `MeatyEFTRelease/DogTagAPI.cpp` handles dogtag-related API integration. `MeatyEFTRelease/FileUpdater.cpp` provides update/download behavior. libcurl is supplied through `MeatyEFTRelease/external/curl/curl.h` and `MeatyEFTRelease/libs/libcurl.lib`; JSON parsing/configuration uses `MeatyEFTRelease/external/nlohmann/json.hpp`, `MeatyEFTRelease/config.cpp`, and `MeatyEFTRelease/configs/config.json`. Proprietary authentication, APIs, and backend databases are explicitly outside this repository.

#### Supporting Runtime Options
An optional Fuser rendering/application path exists in `MeatyEFTRelease/fuserapp.cpp` and `MeatyEFTRelease/app/fuserRender.h`. Configuration and INI-based runtime settings are represented by `MeatyEFTRelease/app/config.h` and `MeatyEFTRelease/INImeatyEFT.ini`. The principal platform stack is Windows, Visual Studio/MSVC, DirectX9, ImGui, GLM (`MeatyEFTRelease/external/glm/glm.hpp`), and nlohmann JSON.
