Kokua is a Trade Wars 2002 assistant with the goal of being very easy for the user to customize for their use. Every screen is defined in user-modifiable XML user interface files similiar to HTML. All actions are written in JavaScript, the scripting language of web pages, eliminating the difference between scripts and normal application behaviors. The initial emphasis of the project is to explore visualization and data mining.

This release focused on the interface and its capabilities. At this point, I'm planning on spend time developing ideas for the interface and leave scripting up to the more capable TWXProxy. The next release will look at how Kokua can better integrate with TWXProxy and share data transparently. Eventually, I want to look at how fuzzy logic and rule engines can aid player knowledge and anticipate actions.
