bruv, when this game first launched on discord, the first thing I did is play for 5 minutes, and then making a script that could autofish.

@@ClarityCoders Is there something like opencv but for sound?

As others have mentioned, running in a headless browser would greatly increase efficiency and most like solve browser crashing issues. That way you could also have a bunch of bots without needing to run endless browser windows. I would redesign the bot to read values from memory instead of template matching as template matching is expensive. If I get some time off from work I might do this. Good video

[@ClarityCoders]

Really great idea. I might do an example this way just to showcase it! Thanks for the feedback.

[@dankmemer3453]

@@ClarityCoders Honestly, this is an activity I'd do as a challenge: reading data from a browser is pretty difficult considering how advanced they really are. I'd start messing around in Cheat Engine to find out what values you can find locally. Maybe a simpler IO game may fair better here as there are a bunch of variables to keep track of in this one, which would take more time than I would take for a KZbin Video, I'm talking thesis level time. Good luck, I love seeing programming channels like this one to get more people interested in the field.

Saw this Bot 2 yrs ago, and I got inspired to learn python, and to use the similar approach, I attempted to use a bot to trade Binary Options, well not for hours like in this game, but I am getting stuck with the computer vision, in particular reading numbers, some are not read well, but the basic functionality is there, thank you for inspiration

[@goodbobonline9640]

Your videos always interest me because I love to think of how I could exploit a game if I knew how to make a bot to play it for me. More for the challenge of making something like that then actually beating a game. How did you work you way to this level of coding? Do you know of any recourses I could use to get practice coding bots or simple AIs?

[@ClarityCoders]

You need to learn the very basics of any language from start to finish. I know it's boring but it really takes time to understand a language. Get the basics down and then progress into projects. Once you get into projects take stuff that is already done like this and try to recreate it without using my code. Then when you get stuck see what I did that sort of thing.

[@rhmagalhaes]

I think the bot contract was to test future improvements. Maybe they don't have a dedicated person to keep testing and your bot would solve it. Then apply AI. And so on. 😉

[@ClarityCoders]

Yup very possible. I check back on some of my contacts over LinkedIn when we were chatting. Here is the original inquiry. We're looking into some AI/ML implementation for a couple of upcoming features in the game, and seeing what you were able to achieve from outside the box was very cool. It's an area we don't have a ton of experience in as a studio, so just looking to see if you'd be able to give us a bit of a steer! Then the chat went on and I ended up not pursuing.

[@jackz4665]

Thank you for the video, just a quick question could you use FastAI instead? Can a neural network perform better in this case rather than template matching as you did?

[@ClarityCoders]

Good questions. I'm sure you could I think overall though it would be slower and not improve the results. The template matching catches the fish almost all the time.

[@mikhadavids]

Nice video, I miss the old logo :) What happened to the open CV tutorial series you were making a few months ago? It stopped after two weeks. Will open CV eventually be included in the new tutorial series?

[@marekslazak1003]

Hey, so i was wondering. If your bot works perfectly fine, and you know it (either you tested it or you're arrogant enough to just "know" there are no bugs [not talking about you, just what i would sometimes do, to my demise]), is it possible to run it on something like a docker container? What i mean by that is to let it think it has screen, and still read data from it without actually having the screen. It kinda feels weird to occupy your workspace for 24h+. And the electricity isn't cheap... Better yet - can it be run in a cloud?

[@hmthatsniceiguess2828]

The whole thing depends on reading pixel patterns from the screen so probably not, at least not with this implementation

[@droggisch]

There are ways to run UIs headless, e.g. via VNC.

[@Waitwhat469]

Run it in a docker replicaset to guarantee uptime. Now scale might look fishy

[@pinaz993]

If this is a browser game, you might be able to just spoof the server and tell it what it expects to hear. There's no telling how much they put in the hands of the client that they shouldn't have. A common rookie mistake is to assume that data that's calculated client-side can be trusted. It can't. Once that code is running on someone else's computer, you can't trust anything it says.

[@pinaz993]

As other have mentioned, a headless browser is likely your best bet. If they aren't running WASM, you'll likely be able to disassemble the client-side app and find things like the horizontal coordinates of both the bobber and the green bar. I also don't see you needing to move to the shop to sell fish. You can likely just trigger the shop interaction with a special packet. I recommend using your browser of choice to capture the packets from a simple session. Catch and sell exactly one fish and figure out how the client tells the server that it wants to sell fish. (If they were lazy enough, you might be able to just send a 'I sell this fish' packet after each catch.)

[@davidiswhat]

Using the code on games makes the video educational and interesting. Interestingly enough, this fishing minigame is similar to the one for the new GW2 expansion. It goes to show how it's a pretty standard implementation for a game known for being unique.

On games like this - sure, it would probably clear out most long-time running bots. But..

I've previously written small python scripts that passed a captcha that came each 2nd - 5th reload of a webpage, by using -really- simple API hooks and 5$ you can easily clear around 5-8k captchas. On games where items or currency has a real world monetary value, its a -tiny- expense for stuff like anticaptcha.
