A modern take on the classic APE tool made by Blue Fang in 2001.

Roadmap

• Project management features
• Generate Zoo Tycoon INI files completely within the app
• Searchable database of all lang strings, official and unofficial
• Searchable database of all game assets, their IDs, and location
• Bulk export of ZTA files
• Image processing features for quick edits to graphics such as:
  • Sharpening
  • Color correction
  • Resizing

Tech Stack

• C++17 for the backend logic and file processing
• Qt Widgets (Qt 6.8.1) for the frontend interface
