Best Language for Bots in games?

[Employer]

Hello, I am very interested in creating bots that can farm or do things in multiple games. Right now I am learning javascript but know it is not preferred for controlling a character in a game. Is it possible to run an instance of a game and have it move and click and still be able to use your computer. As in moving the mouse to do other things on the computer while the game still uses mouse action such as clicking.

I've only heard of Java.

lol how do you plan on making a bot with javascript?

You can check this out - https://******.com/DetreRaison/GamePlayerBot it's in Visual Basic.

If you want some eassy language then I prefer OOP - Java Language softwares like Visual Basic. If you can code like an AI then I prefer C++.

You can make it in multiple languages...


NodeJS, Java, Python, VB.NET, C++, ETC...

You can search on google see which one is best for you.

There's a bot called D2NT for Diablo II that is written in Javascript. When it came out it was THE most popular bot of all time for D2 and all other bots became, almost, obsolete. It's still being used now.

Nodejs isn't a language, it's an event loop networking framework.

It's possible sometime to make bots in JavaScript, but depends to the situation, sometimes it's not even convenient.

It depends to the situation.

It doesn't mean nothing and it depends to the situation.

The point he was making was that you can not making a bot in Javascript, when, in fact, you can. Everything is situational in programming.

I think you didn't understand what he said:

means:

it's not convenient to make a bot with javascript

or:

it's not possible to make a bot with javascript

which depends to which bot you want to make. As you don't understand, I bend myself to quote you the definition:

The bot (abbreviation of robot) in computer terminology in general is a program that accesses the network through the same type of channels used by human users (for example accessing Web pages, send messages in a chat, automover videogames, and etc). Programs of this type are disclosed in connection with many different services of the network, with various purposes but usually related to the automation of tasks which would be too burdensome or complexes for human users.
Wikipedia

this means you are too generic when you say you can make a bot in javascript: can you make an SSH bruteforcer in javascript? (yes, a bruteforcer is a bot).

and, finally:

Everything is situational in programming.

I have no idea what does this mean.

go for python

I wouldnt use node because no multithread

You can use almost any common language.
The difficulty is not in the choice of language, but in the implementation of the required functions, as they do not have ready-made solutions for image search, object recognition, text recognition.
However, there are programs specifically designed for your purposes. They have ready-made functions with which you can easily build the logic of the bot.
They can work both in the active window and in the background. The mouse and keyboard remain free.

One such program is Kibor. It has a full set of tools for creating automated actions, including bots.
In addition to the functions that almost all such programs have (search for images, keyboard and mouse operation, and so on), it has a Visual Code Editor, by which any user not familiar with programming can create bot code.
Also in Kibor there is a built-in OCR module. Recognize the text is often in the analysis of the image of the game. To write this function is not even a simple task even for an experienced programmer.
In Kibor there is a lot of special tools of the other, making it easier to create bots.

Python is best.
