❗ Weirdest game hack you ever saw...

Be Warned!!!!
I am new to vb and this thread will be agitating!!!!!




anyway i am currently making a hack for a flip card memory game that's online (I know it sounds like a stupid ideal but this game has daily tournaments that give out prizes....) This is what the game looks like...
[COLOR="#FF0000"](Remember this is only level 1, there are 3 levels with increasing difficulty.)

Anyway for more details pm me or something

I have made a hack for this game that remembers the cards/images for me so i have an accurate location of where the corresponding card/image is
This hacks involves the user to click on a cards location on the hack and click on the image that goes with it.....so lets say the next time you forget where a card/image was you can look at the hack to remember where.

Now what i need you guys to help me with is to find out how i can make a "Image identification code" for the program....
lets say when i flip a card in the game my program will automatically remember what that cards image was (either through a aim bot or screen cap)
then my hack will display this information in a table that shows what each card had for the images underneath it. The important part is that i don't have to click my program!!!

My ideals on how to do this is that when the user flips a card in the game the hack will take a screen cap of the game or the card itself and display the photos in a neat table separated by rows and columns where i can read for later uses.


Or..... an aim bot like program where when a user flips a card the program will automatically identify the image and display information on a table.

of course you guys are more creative than me so if you other ideals post below....

btw if you guys got butthurt while reading this remember that i did warn you......

There are a few ways to go about this, this is one way I'd do it.

You need a way to know where each card is being displayed in the form. I assume it's a grid pattern, so if you 'know' where the top-left one is located (hint: easiest way is possibly checking Cursor.Position. x&y) and where the bottom-right one is located, you can figure out the position of each card. It's forcing the 'user' to somehow tell the program these spots, but after that 'setup', it will work.

After that you can use windows api to find the game window and take a screen of just it and check each location.

Maybe draw out a diagram of the game, marking the size of the grids etc...write down how to figure out 1) the total width of the grid 2) the width of each card 3) any space between the cards 4) the height of the card. Use pencil. Use imaginary/convenient values for the form/card's size, then once you have the math down, convert it to generic equations/steps which can be put into programming. Upload pic of your work/any code, and I'll try to post code with comments.
edit: I guess you could just monitor mouse clicks and take a screenshot then, but you'd still need to know how large each card is, so you'll have to do 1-4 anyway. Do some work and I'll help.
-maybe try uploading images to any other public image server and use the [img ] [/img] bbcode tags (when you create a new thread there is a link at the bottom to 'bbcode examples' if you ever need to look them up), and you won't have to wait for them to "get approved" :|
-the image comparison part (assuming card images don't change) is the easy part. That'll be one of the last steps.

edit: or not, gl.

Is it a problem to flip-up all the cards one time?

My idea is to check all the cards and map them in a form that shows a little pic for each cards image

I gave you the first few steps. Did you give it a try? It's definitely possible.

?

ok. Once you know where each card is..taking the screenshots/comparing them is the easy part.

edit: hint: In the math, you have to know how many rows and columns make up the grid. Just saying.

The way I've done it in the past is to force the user to enter 4 informations:
# of rows, # of columns
Location of top-left card
Location of top-right card

And with those 4 things you can find the position of any card.

Might need why? I'm not planning on testing it. You want coding help or what...
