Hello everyone!

I really hope I am posting this in the correct forum, however, I cannot be quite sure do to the fact that I could not manage to find a forum that specifically fits my needs.

I will try to be as clear and concise as possible, and any help at all is always very much appreciated.

So, let's begin with my request, shall we?

To be blunt, I need help in making a program/bot for an online, java based game. The game is Hero World, much like many of the other applications you can find on MySpace or Facebook.

The game consists of many different options to spend your 'hero's accumulations', including: energy, money, power points, etc.

To give you a run down of want I want this program to do, I will need to give you a basic understanding of how the game works.

The character has an 'energy base' of a certain value (which can be increased by spending hero points). You use this energy by doing 'missions'. Missions give you a combination of both money and hero points.

The energy base is linked with a timer, which replenishes a certain amount of your energy per second (depending on the value of your 'Recovery' stat).

What I want, is help making a program that will use the amount of energy required to do certain types of missions whenever the timer has replenished precisely enough of it to do so.

Ex.

There is a mission that required 500 energy points.
It awards $____ and ____ power points.
If I currently do not have enough energy, I want the program to realize when I do, and at that moment, use it on the mission.

This program will enable me to spend every bit of energy I can at all times, basically playing for me while I'm not around.




If you read this entire post, I'll be honest, you must be either pretty damn bored, or awfully hopeful to fulfill your cravings of giving help. (hopefully #2)

Thank you for any future responses or help I receive from anyone!

Have a nice day everyone.

Do you have any coding exp?

[athlyt17]

Not really, but I am a very avid learner and have a high learning curve with these things.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting it to be a breeze, and I'm not expecting for someone to do it all for me.

I just am hoping for some help/direction as to what I need to do to create what I want.

Id say writing a bot is beyond the ability of a new coder.

I would disagree.

With the correct support and direction to where I can get knowledge on this subject, I am 100% confident that I could create what I want.

[ruteckycs]

I would disagree.

Sorry since you have no background in the subject your opinion has no validity.
Check out this tutorial listing ... learn it well .. and then start working on the bot in 6 months or so.

I hope your peers appreciate the fact that you are so incredibly quick to judge others' abilities in wake of your own haughtiness.

Just because I don't have quite the experience you proclaim to have yourself does not mean that I would be dumbfounded in my efforts.

I say for you to have a go at it. I was also told I could never do it. In some respects I probably never will. I can however get around pretty good.

Everyone was a new coder at some point in time. If no one would ever try what "is beyond their capability" then we would still be riding horses, and pushing carts with square wheels.

Thats not true because the people who try to run before they learn to walk end up with broken legs. I never said this couldnt do it, I in fact suggested he take 6 months to go over some tutorials to learn coding basics first. I even provided him one to start him off with. But instead of thanking me and reading it he got angry. Strange....

PS:

I didnt judge your abilities, you told me you didnt have any, and I believed you.

Or, at least a bloody nose would be expected. Sorry you just put an image, of a kid in a stumbling run, into my head. Yes, I'm cold hearted, and I laughed about it.
