Reading Text

[kforsey]

If i was making a Bot for a game, is it possible to make the Bot read text that appears on the screen. If so, how?

[Insolence]

Yes.

What I did was make a grid system out of each line and character. I then took the top-left most coordinate of each character and made an individual set of coordinates for each pixel in that character:

"0,-1;-1,0;-1,-1;-7,0;-7,-1;"

Which is 'A' in the game I play.

I'm not sure if I did it the best way possible, but here's the source.

I'm confused. Can you please elaborate?

I'll diagram it:

1) Find the text

2) Find each line

3) Find each character

4) Start point of black pixel coordinates

5) Record each black pixel
