[FIRST TIME WITH AUTOIT] Minesweeper Bot help?

[TwoDesperateMen]

btw this is on windows 7, and I have VERY basic knowledge of autoit right now. I've been using it for exactly 4 hours. Anyways, so I'm trying to make a bot that actually PLAYS minesweeper for you. Doesn't win, doesn't edit memory, I just want it to be like an actual player. So I had no idea what to do and this is the first part of my script. I'm pretty sure theres a better way to make the mouse click on a box than pixel colors, but I don't know how. Any suggestions?

WinWaitActive( "Minesweeper" )
Beep(500, 1000)
WinActivate("Minesweeper")
$coord= PixelSearch( 0,0, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0x8FC2F3)
If Not @error Then
    MouseClick( "left", $coord[0], $coord[1], 1, 0)
EndIf

First of all, welcome to the forums!

Second, about your question.

Straight from the helpfile:

Remember, a typical display at 1024 x 768 has 786432 pixels. Although PixelSearch is optimized, narrowing the search area helps speed up the result.

Take a look at WinGetPos and WinGetClientSize.

If you use these functions first to get Minesweeper coords and size, you can optimize the speed of PixelSearch.

Like this.

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")

Global $sTitle = WinGetTitle("Minesweeper")
Global $sColor = 0x8FC2F3

If (Not WinActive($sTitle)) Then WinActivate($sTitle)
WinWaitActive($sTitle)

Dim $aWinPos = WinGetPos($sTitle)
Dim $aWinSize = WinGetClientSize($sTitle)

While 1
    $aCoord = PixelSearch($aWinPos[0], $aWinPos[1], $aWinSize[0], $aWinSize[1], $sColor)
    If (IsArray($aCoord)) Then
        MouseClick("left", $aCoord[0], $aCoord[1], 1, 0)
    EndIf
WEnd

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

EDIT: Added While, WEnd.

The script now keeps looking for the color until you press ESCAPE.

Also, I have no idea if this will work. I can't test on Win7 because I simply don't have it.

I think Minesweeper is allowed.

I even did a minesweeper bot once before.

I don't see any exception in Valik Annoucement...

[AlmarM]

That's true.

But on the other side, where are the Windows Minesweeper ToS?

What's that ?

[AlmarM]

Terms of Service... Or did I mean Terms of Agreement?

Ok, but I think forums rules are availables for all games !

[czardas]

Make your own mine sweeper game, then there won't be any terms or conditions.

[Scriptonize]

As far as I can see is that Valik made it very clear.

There aren't any exceptions.

Oh well, just thought so because of all the previous minesweeper bots.

It's called Valik's TOS.

I would like to know where the line is drawn. I do not BOT and do not think that it is fair to BOT (CHEATING), but have seen many threads that do not get blocked/closed and there needs to be a stand. NO $!#$@#$ BOTS or allow them - but make up YOUR mind.

']' Right border.

'=' Line.

if this topic gets locked its probably because the bickering about (whatever). And not the minesweeper game part.

But request like "but make up YOUR mind" could do the trick to.

Excuse me.... Go play somewhere else when things are making you emotional but don't vent it here.

The rules are clear these days!
