BattZ Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Years ago, I wrote a program that could scan the screen for certain colors, it worked perfectly, and I was happy. Now, after countless HD reformats, new computers and all that, I've lost it. Now I can't even remember what language I wrote it in. I really thought it was java, but I haven't been able to find anything that could do that. So I'm wondering what languages could I do this in, so I can start to remake the original program. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entity Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 If it works like the World of Warcraft fishing bots which detect pixle colour change on the screen it could have been possibly written using AutoHotkey Entity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattZ Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm proficient at most of the popular languages, C++, java, vb etc..., but I like to do most of my programming in C++ or java when possible. AutoHotKey looks interesting, I'll have to check it out, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armani Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 You could use C++ to write an app that will scan the screen for certain colors. I'm semi-proficient in C++ but am curious of what you mean by this? What library would that function be from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure myself to be honest, but if there isn't a library I guess you could write one. Edited March 2, 2011 by Infiltrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Cooper Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm semi-proficient in C++ but am curious of what you mean by this? What library would that function be from? Instinctive method would be to use one of the many methods to take a screen shot and then process that screen shot looking for the colours you are interested in. It probably isn't the best method and could put a lot of strain on your machine depending on how often it is taking a screen shot and processing it.
