Checksum starting from unknown coordinates?

[DWad]

Hey guys. I'm trying to write a script that looks for a checksum of an image that moves around a lot (not fast, but once every few minutes or so). If I got a checksum starting with every pixel on the screen, that would probably take a lot of time, right? Even at 800x600 resolution, I'm guessing it would take awhile.

Is there a better way to find an image that's always exactly the same image, but in different places?

If not, is there an easy way (or a script even) to get a checksum in relation to mouse coordinates (right now my problem is that the cursor changes, so I don't know exactly how far away the image is that I want to checksum..

Thanks!

I'm sure someone will have some sort of input on this..

The way I got it to work was to search a small area of the screen that I knew would have the image I was looking for, but what if you're searching the whole screen?
