mark76 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hi, I would like to automate a blackjackgame played via some internet casino software. Im trying to figure out the language that is going to be most suited to this task. AutoIT looks like it has all the functionallity to open the software select the blackjack game and press the buttons when I tell it to. The tricky part is grabing the graphical output (The numbers on the card graphics) that come back on the screen comparing them to a database of examples, deciding for example, the dealer has 7 and I have 16 and then using those numbers to look up a decision table and take the apropraite action. Press the hit button of the stand button etc ... What do you suggest for this project. Can it all be done in AutoIT ?. Mabey I could script all the actions like open program and press button in Autoit and write an exe in another lanuage that grabs the graphics on the screen, works out what they are and somehow passes the results to Autoit ? Or mabey there is a better language out there that it more suited to this task ? Thats for you advice . Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way your asking the question, it seems that you have no prior programming knowledge (or you would have asked for something specific), then AutoIt may be more enjoyable past the casino aspect, and you could take the tutorial that one of the members made and get aquainted fairly quickly. But that's about as much help as you'll get in that area.The tutorial: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=21048 Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a fair bit of programing experience mostly in C but I haven't really done anything much for five years. I was origanlly a coder but became a UNIX sysadmin 7 years ago and moved away from it.I ask the question in a general kind of a way because at this stage im after a high level desciption about what the language can and can't do. If people don't like the idea of internet casinos then why not making auto it play a game of solitaire. I've had a bit of a brief look at the language and written a couple of simple programs. So far I like it but if you take a look at my original question it can't be that hard to answer it can it ?Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
