hca.py

hca.py provides a Python-based HCA decoder, alongside updated C++ source code in hca_src that can be used to build an HCADecoder binary. The README positions the project as a decoder for HCA files and points to related implementations, including Nyagamon/HCADecoder and hozuki/kawashima, as references. It also mentions Youjose/PyCriCodecs as a recommended alternative, while noting that this alternative is not licensed. The current description is minimal and focuses on the decoder’s purpose rather than detailed usage, supported formats, or installation steps. The only listed future work is vectorization, suggesting the implementation may benefit from performance optimization. Because the README does not document command-line usage, API details, dependencies, or supported HCA variants, the project appears best understood as a lightweight decoding utility or reference implementation rather than a full-featured media application.
