    Default Robot

    Hi,
    I have made a bot. For a game. It goes races people on the game.
    Is it possible to make the bot identify images and text?
    In the game you can change your car (you have to drag a picture to a space to change it) and would it be possible if the bot would identify the picture and drag it to the space to change it?

    Before helping, I have to ask is this an honorable thing that you do? My gut tells me no, that it is significantly unfair to the other game players.

    There are thousand of other things to do, if you really want to be keen in Java. ;)

    Read the API documentation for the Robot class and see for yourself.

    Yep; that's the only way to get an image of (part of) the screen.

    Sure, but you'd need an optical character recognition library (OCR) to do so. Again I have to say that there are better projects out there if your goal is to learn to program.
