Please help - Making a program to play online games automatically for you

[trb]

Hello,

I am new to the forum, and would like to say hello . I'm not sure if this is the correct place to be posting this topic, but I'll give it a shot. I would like to make a program (VB, C, C++, or whatever language would be best) that could play an online game for you, such as mahjong, or slots, or even word games where it will type letters for you. I was wondering what language would be best for this? This would be a personal project. I have been wanting to do something like this for a couple years, and have finally progressed into asking.
So, what would be a good starting point? What language would be the best to do something like this with? The program will need to know strategy, how to locate pixels, and move the mouse / click. I would greatly appreciate ANY help that could be brought my way.

Thanks for your time,
trb

It depends heavily on the game. AutoIt can do some games, but may not work well for others. You will have to code the logic, etc.

Hello,

Thank you for your response. A few years back I actually used a program similar to Autoit. It's called Macro Scheduler. Macro scheduler worked perfectly, allowed to me make the scripts into running .exe files, and allowed you to create a custom form where you can add your own buttons, text, ect. However, after creating BOTS with Macro Scheduler, after some time the program was just too weak to play my logic based games. I would really like to be pushed in the right direction of an actual programming language that will allow me to add these features in. For example, playing a game of mahjong by clicking the correct tiles, ect. What would be the best programming language to learn? VB? C++?

Thanks

It still depends on the specific game. Is it flash based, JavaScript based, Java based, something else?

Hello,

The specific website I am talking about programming bots for is pogo.com. Their games are Java based games.

I don't know if AutoIt can interact well with Java programs.
