How can I make a trainer for minesweeper?

[urmommie]

Ok here is my basic code that I made with help of members of this great forum!:

$answer = MsgBox(4, "Minesweeper Trainer", "Do you want to open the minesweeper Trainer?");This will make a message box asking if you want the trainer
    If $answer = 7 Then;This will close it if someone presses no
Exit
EndIf
    If $answer = 6 Then
    run ("winmine.exe") ;This will run minesweeper if someone presses yes
EndIf

That pretty much just opens and message boxes that tells you if you want to open the trainer or not

if Yes minesweeper will open if no then it will just close.

Please tell me how I can make it a trainer for minesweeper.

by trainer do you mean tutorial?

any way you do it, you need to click, recognise numbers in surrounding areas, work out whether there is a mine there, and it goes on and on.

can I recommend the good old helpfile, particular parts referring to pixel stuff. also search the forums, many people have played around with character recognition.

maby he means this

minesweep.au3

Sorry for reviving this old topic, but perhaps he meant one of the all-too-common trainers that edit a program's memory?

If you know the addresses of the values you want to edit, you could always change them (probably using one of the memory libraries somewhere in Example Scripts)

eg:

The following addresses are only for this specific file:
Winmine.exe - Windows XP - Service Pack 2 (File Size: 119,808 bytes; File Version: 5.1.2600.0)

Time - 4 bytes
    STATIC: 0100579C (Current time elasped in seconds)
Records - 4 bytes - (value assigned when the "Enter name" window appears)
    STATIC: 010056CC (Beginner)
    STATIC: 010056D0 (Intermediate)
    STATIC: 010056D4 (Expert)
Record Holders - Unicode String
    STATIC: 010056D8 (Beginner)
    STATIC: 01005718 (Intermediate)
    STATIC: 01005758 (Expert)
(for winmine, 0100HHHH = winmine.exe+HHHH)
Notes: records and record holders appear to be loaded when the program starts and saved when it ends - editing works.

And, as above - the addresses here are only for that specific file. If you have a different version of the file, you're on your own - which is why most memory-based trainers either need constant updates or are abandoned.

Notes, ex: This Thread had one attachment doing some minesweeper memory editing.

Corgano's script works for the same minesweeper version as this (towards a different goal), but I think memory editing is much more productive. (But also more dangerous if you have the wrong address/value.)

Example:

This script should reset the time elapsed/counter to 000 (display will change at 001)

WARNING! This code should ONLY be used with the posted program version!

(Note: Just edited w0uter's 2005 script)

$v_Open = _MemOpen($MEM_W + $MEM_O, False, ProcessExists('winmine.exe'))
$v_Read = _MemWrite($v_Open, 0x0100579C, 0, 4)
$v_Close = _MemClose($v_Open)

There's probably an updated library to access memory with but I didn't look hard enough.

NomadMemory is one of the udfs to read/write memory easily.

[crashdemons]

I didn't have time to play with NomadMemory, but this may work as a Minesweeper trainer.

(for the above program version)

EDIT: moved my script to a new thread so I can stop hijacking this one with the example.

Link to the trainer's thread.
