detecting motion then clicking it

[84cr250]

im wondering if there is a way using auto it to watch a window and detect a large amount of motion then click it. i know about image search and pixel cheaksums and about "Using a color change as an event" but i cant seem to get that to work for what i need.

im just trying to automate a game like wack-a-mole so i need it to watch for them to pop up so it can click them but the only problem im having is that there is blinking lights and other meters moving on the side. so there is always a bit of movement.

is there a way to watch for movement but have a tolerance set up so it doesnt react to just any movement it reacts to a large amount.

thanks for the help

is there a unique color on the objects in their 'up' state? you could constantly search the areas necessary for that color and if it appears click on it.

not really thats i could find, any colors on the moles are also al over the window its open in and the bord that the things come out of. i tryed with pixels and colors for about a week now.

is there away to look for a group of let say 100 pixels as a hole and detect that moving, not just a small group of pixels moving??

i have been useing this to test if a color only shows up in one spot or a few spots and i cant find a color that is unique to the "up" stage of them

my bot for your bubble breaker has like a 2000 high score, but still sux.

[84cr250]

so this is what MPH said:

The bot rule does not apply here for you are only working with a single player game and there is no TOS for this game.

so im guessing this little flash game i have that is SINGLEPLAYER ONLY is ok to ask about then

and my buddy is the one who made it for a school project and he said its ok to bot the game and to hack it......

so the tos says i can if i want to
