Help out an aspiring DarkOrbit tool developer!!

WARNING: This thread is aimed more towards the programming side of the community , however it is open to all.If you are not interested in tools and bots developing, don't bother reading this.


Hello DarkOrbit community,

I am an 18 years old, first year Computer Science student.Started my lectures on September.I am getting really interested in programming since I have already started learning about the fundamentals in general but also in C++.Right now the only experience that I have is taking programms in pseudocode and convert them in C++ .(Using VS 17)

With those informations about me being given,I would like someone to give me some informations on how can I get started creating my own tool/bot.
I would like to start with a really simple tool like a feature to see the aliens hp and shield or something like that and one day come to eventually fulfill my ambition on creating my own pixelbot.
So, where do I start?

-What programming language should I start learning and practicing ?

-In what platform do I code ?( I dont know if I a platform is the correct word but I mean , where do I write my code in order to compile it into a programm ?

-Any guides about such tools that you know and would like to share with me ?

-Any other tips ?

Thank you in advance!

Zetadarus made a nice tutorial to get started on making your own bot. going though that might be helpful.

C++ is fine if you're learning it already.
Visual Studio.
C++ Primer
Learning by doing. But don't try to do stuff you're not able to do yet.

^this so much
Try to start with a simple project where you are sure that you can do it. I can guarantee you that you'll face problems you didn't even think about.
Also learn clean code/coding patters etc. on the way. It'll help you a lot in bigger projects.

Might help with finding the hp/shield

for base better aim for the as long as it works goal. once you advance you can start with stuff like paterns and stuff.

Thank you all for your information :D

Good luck for your learning! I started learning programming like 2 years ago when I was 13 years old, now I learned a lot of problem solving and algorithmisation.

I can be your tester if you want
