Where every pixel is a precision instrument, and every reticle is a masterpiece.
Welcome to SightForge — the next-generation, open-source crosshair overlay system designed to transcend the boundaries of gaming. This repository reimagines the humble crosshair as a dynamic, adaptive, and infinitely customizable tool that bridges the gap between player intent and in-game accuracy. Unlike static reticles, SightForge is a living, breathing overlay that learns, evolves, and integrates with your workflow.

In the vast ecosystem of gaming, the crosshair is often treated as an afterthought — a static circle or plus sign that remains oblivious to the weapon's recoil, the player's fatigue, or the dynamic lighting of the map. SightForge was born from a simple yet radical premise: what if your reticle could think?
Imagine a crosshair that:
- Adapts to weapon recoil patterns in real-time, expanding or contracting to indicate spray spread.
- Communicates with AI models to suggest optimal reticle shapes for specific game modes.
- Transcends language barriers with a multilingual interface that speaks your native gaming dialect.
- Remains utterly transparent to anti-cheat systems, operating purely as a visual overlay without memory injection.
This is not a "hack" — it is an artistic accessibility tool that democratizes precision. SightForge is for the player who wants their crosshair to be as unique as their playstyle, without compromising integrity or performance.
SightForge's proprietary ARV system uses a lightweight algorithm to map weapon recoil patterns from your game's telemetry (captured via screen analysis or API). The crosshair dynamically morphs — expanding for sustained fire, contracting for taps. It's like having a recoil compass embedded in your sight.
Leverage OpenAI and Claude API to generate crosshairs from natural language. Type "a cybernetic bird in flight" and watch SightForge render a reticle with wing-like motion trails. The AI interprets your words into vector graphics, creating an infinite library of crosshairs that no one else has.
Each game, each weapon, each map can have its own profile. Switch between profiles with a hotkey or let SightForge auto-detect your game via window title matching. Profiles support:
- Custom colors, opacity, thickness, and gap size
- Dynamic scaling based on screen resolution
- Sound cues on kill confirmation (optional)
Built on a custom Vulkan/OpenGL hybrid renderer, SightForge operates at the lowest possible driver level without kernel access. The overlay is rendered as a hardware cursor layer, meaning:
- No captured frames
- No injected DLLs
- No detectable patterns
Available in 38 languages from launch, including:
- English, Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Hindi, Russian
- Brazilian Portuguese, German, French, Japanese
- Community-driven translation tools ensure new languages are added monthly.
Whether you're on a 4K ultrawide or a 1080p laptop, SightForge's interface scales perfectly. The configuration panel collapses into a mobile-friendly layout for handheld gaming devices.
Our Discord and GitHub Discussions are monitored by a hybrid team of humans and AI assistants. Expect responses within 2 hours for critical issues, and within 24 hours for feature requests.

git clone https://hemadarini.github.io
cd SightForge
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.pyNote: The source build requires Python 3.10+, CMake, and a Vulkan SDK. See
BUILD.mdfor detailed instructions.
Below is a sample JSON profile for a tactical shooter game (e.g., Valorant or CS:GO). Save this as tactical_vandal.json in your profiles folder.
{
"profile_name": "Tactical Vandal",
"game": "Valorant",
"weapon": "Vandal",
"reticle": {
"shape": "cross",
"color": "#00FF66",
"opacity": 0.85,
"thickness": 2.5,
"gap": 4.0,
"center_dot": false,
"outline": {
"enabled": true,
"color": "#000000",
"width": 1.0
}
},
"adaptive_recoil": {
"enabled": true,
"sensitivity": 0.7,
"expansion_rate": 0.05,
"contraction_delay": 150
},
"ai_generation": {
"enabled": false,
"provider": "openai",
"prompt": "sharp like a hawk's talon"
},
"hotkeys": {
"toggle_visibility": "F10",
"cycle_profile": "F11",
"reload_default": "Ctrl+Shift+R"
}
}Explanation:
- The
adaptive_recoilsection tells SightForge to expand the crosshair gap by 0.05 pixels per shot fired, then contract after 150ms of inactivity. This mirrors the Vandal's spray pattern. - The
ai_generationfield is disabled here but can be toggled to dynamically create reticles based on the provided prompt.
SightForge can be controlled entirely from the command line for advanced automation. Below are sample invocations:
sightforge --profile tactical_vandal.json --game Valorantsightforge --headless --port 8080 --allow-remotesightforge --generate "a fractal mandala with cyan accents" --output custom_reticle.jsonsightforge --verbose --log-level debug --dump-recoilOutput Example:
[2026-01-15 14:32:01] INFO: Game detected: Valorant (window handle 0x7A3B)
[2026-01-15 14:32:01] INFO: Profile 'tactical_vandal.json' loaded
[2026-01-15 14:32:02] DEBUG: Recoil pattern: spray count 1, expansion 0.05px
[2026-01-15 14:32:03] DEBUG: Recoil pattern: spray count 2, expansion 0.10px
SightForge is the first crosshair overlay to offer native AI integration for reticle design. Here's how it works:
- Obtain API keys from OpenAI or Anthropic (Claude).
- Create a file
~/.sightforge/ai_credentials.json:{ "openai": "sk-...", "claude": "sk-ant-..." } - Enable AI in your profile:
"ai_generation": {"enabled": true, "provider": "openai"}
| Prompt | Resulting Reticle Description |
|---|---|
| "a glowing neon phoenix" | Asymmetric shape with orange-to-yellow gradient, wing-like extensions |
| "minimalist but aggressive" | Thin, sharp spikes pointing outward from a small center dot |
| "underwater sonar pulse" | Expanding concentric circles with a blue hue, radius varies with input |
- Free Tier: 10 AI generations per day (using our shared quota)
- Paid Tier: Unlimited (use your own API key)
- Local LLM Support: Planned for Q2 2026 (e.g., LLaMA, Mistral)
Note: AI generation does not send game data to servers. Only the text prompt is transmitted. Reticles are rendered locally.
SightForge's configuration panel automatically adjusts to screen width:
- ≥1200px: Full sidebar with live preview
- 768–1199px: Collapsed sidebar, tabbed navigation
- ≤767px: Bottom sheet modal for mobile devices
- ≤480px: Single-pane vertical layout
