Im trying to make a bot to help me answer the questions in a SWF game. The question will come up randomly but i can get the full list of questions. heres what i need to do:

1.question (image) comes up
2.click corresponding answer on the screen.

the problem is, the questions come up randomly, so i cant do a bot that clicks the correct answer in the correct sequence. help?

hobdiddy · 03-03-2008, 04:16 AM

you would either use image search to figure out the question or an ocr to read the question. then have it click the correct answer for the question it finds.

emi_mockingbird · 03-03-2008, 07:48 AM

i know how to do those hob. but unless the questions isnt ramdomized i cant put the question|answer pairs in a sequence. i need a way to jump to the correct answer when a certain question shows up.

i guess you don't understand. how do u think cbb gets the letters?

Let me try to break it down.

Use image search. If it finds a certain image, it gives it a certain answer. Just set up a different variable for each image. Then use the If function to match up images with answers.

to be frank, that's one of the 'interesting techniques' that im talking about.

@olas: an example code or template would be nice.

post a link to the site with the game, and i'll write the imagesearch part of the ahk script for u over the weekend....

emi_mockingbird · 03-04-2008, 06:25 AM

no, just the template will do.

emi_mockingbird · 03-07-2008, 07:49 AM

ok, ill try to do this myself. please someone tell me the commands that i should use. ill go check out the hlpe file myself.

also, should it be
1)look at question from game then find correspoding answer from my list of question-answer

OR

2) try to match the question from game to my list one by one?

cheaterdiddy · 03-07-2008, 07:53 AM

alright heres the image search wiki http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/ImageSearch.htm
If you need any help ask me,or hob,or SB

emi_mockingbird · 03-09-2008, 04:00 AM

thanks, but i was expecting something less obvious. would i have to use any of the libraries? parsing? something else? i'm new to these commands and i dont really know what they do. I've only mastered imagesearch, sleep, mouse click, loop, and some other noob commands.

itami · 03-09-2008, 04:04 AM

Do you have an image of all the questions? Just how many questions are there?

emi_mockingbird · 03-10-2008, 03:01 AM

so far i've collected 144 images. thats why i believed that this method would not work or would take a long time if it does

"if q1 not found,try to find q2.if q2 not found,try to find q3....untill the right question is found, match with answer then click"

If the secenario was simpler i would have just done the above and not asking for help here.

emi_mockingbird · 03-11-2008, 02:29 AM

ideas, anyone? the deadline to the game is 8 days away.

hobdiddy · 03-12-2008, 10:09 AM

just do an imagesearch loop

you could even loop a dir.

if you dont want to post or pm the site then sorry it will be hard to help you.

cheaterdiddy · 03-12-2008, 10:17 AM

emi_mockingbird · 03-12-2008, 10:25 AM
