So in Telegram there is this funny little game called Lumberjack where you need to click left and right to cut the branches. My and my fellow students played this in the group. Then I got bored for like 30 minutes and decided to write a little bot which checks where the branches are with pixel detection and sends a left/right click to the window. Imagine my friends faces when all of sudden my score was 500+ and the character ran through this like a fucking jackhammer :D

    That's nice!
    Would like to see it in action on video.

    Anyway you can cheat in most of the telegram games just by sending a POST request with modified score. 😉
    Of course it's less funny than creating a bot to play instead of you.

    Your bot is running in an android emulator, right?

    LOL – this is 'laziness is the mother of innovation' taken to the next level. Your friends probably thought you either sold your soul to AI or chugged 10 Red Bulls! Automating group games like this is the perfect way to turn a boring study session into a mind-blowing hackathon. Next step: writing a bot to auto-reply to your professor’s messages too?
