Bot movement by scanning a mini map

[tom13]

Hi there,

I'm trying to figure out a way to create a navigation system for games where a mini map is shown.

Eg. when storing waypoints, a checksum of a small area of the minimap is stored. Later on, this checksum is being searched for on the mini map. You can then determine which waypoint is the closest and what way you should go.

The problems I am facing:

1. especially when moving, certain areas somehow seem to change a bit in color -> possible solution: shade veriation with a pixelchecksum? Is that possible? If so, how? If not, please tell me.

2. it has to be fast

Example mini map:

Is anyone able to help me out?

If someone is also interested in such method please send me a PM.
