Where do I Start?

[BobTheCat]

I want to write something that will be able to navigate itself through web pages. Like the program automatically visits various links.

I would also like it to be able to be programed to input for games you could find in a browser.

SCAR is a program that was for cheating on RuneScape. You can use it to do things like find colour at a certain location, input mouse and keyboard, shit like that. It does those things and it makes them fairly easy.

My problem is I would like to create a client that would include a bunch of these various things. I don't want to have to teach someone how to use SCAR or AutoIt or anything every time they need to do something. I want to be able to include it all into a nice little client package you could open up and it would do various things.

I've used SCAR to automate different games for Neopets, it's fun to me. I don't even play Neopets, my GF does but I found the programming a nice way to get used to how languages work.

So what I kind of would like to do is create a client that would assist users in a game like Neopets or something. It could auto browse pages to find items, auto play games, all sorts of shit.

So where do I start?

Well first you need t pick a language, I would recommend C# but whatever suits you best. Then learn it for a few months and go from there, honestly what you want to make is huge and would require a lot of programming, think how many rs bots there are? You're better off making individual trainers and starting from basic then to expert.

Use CURL to get the HTML source, parse it using regex/grammars to find what u want.
Heres an example from my gedownloader:

Depends on the game. Java games can all be botted the same way runescape is with reflection/bcel.

It makes no sense to try and package together a lot of different programs that are not related. Write a lot of small programs that do a specific task instead of one giant one that does many things.
