Possible to read game data, for a mod I want to make?

[vampireofwind]

I was wondering if it is possible to read game data, (hopefully that is the correct term). My goal is to make a mod, that was suggested from someone else, where you can see the stats of what you have done over your play through. For example, you pick a carrot the screen you can pull up would have a +1 next to carrots, or you kill a frog and "frogs slain +1"

 

So my problem is I cant seem to find a way to read the game data to increase those values. I had the idea to read the save file then just update the stats every time they save, but that is also beyond me. Googling has lead me no where or I'm just not searching the correct terms.

 

So basically is it possible to read game data in some way?

I'm pretty sure what he's asking is if it's possible to listen for certain events (Such as a certain enemy type being killed) and increment a counter based on that information.
