Making a bot with Java 'awt' library

Hi everyone,

I'm new in java and I'm trying to make a farming pixel bot for a browser game, the game uses adobe flash player and shockwave player plugin.

I found a library called "java.awt.event.*" and it seems good to do the job.

I was a game developer and I have some knowledge on how to make the bot smart enough and acts like a real user, but the question is, is there a technical way to detect this bot ? something like distinguishing between the real mouse events and the events generated with the bot ? and does the browser allow flash player to know some informations from the computer such as what programs are running, taking screenshots ...etc ?

I wish you help me guys :handsdown:

Well the browser or the flash game won't detect if you are botting or not.
I would switch here to awt.Robot

Or I will completly switch to tools like Selenium or CubicTest. Though Selenium is much better cause you can also capture mouse movements and don't need to hardcode them.

Exactly, I was going to use the awt.Robot methods.
Thanks for your answer bro, it is really good to know that the game won't detect the Robot actions :D

Hi @[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...],

please create your own topic as there is no real relation to this topic except you want to use java.

Is this a browser game? If it is, it probably uses a human readable protocol and it should be easy to implement your own client that communicates with the server directly rather than simulating clicks.
Otherwise, ignore my answer.
