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

open source? also didnt know theres games in telegram, is it added via bots?

You can do @gamebot

Stuff like this is why I like programming

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.

@JS96 Here, made a little gif

Opensource? Link?

@Kyu96 That is so awesome!

Looks like you made "hack"saw!

Using telegram for 2 years. I didn't know there was a game. I should wake up and open my eyes.

@Kyu96 that's so awesome!

impressive. Which language did you use? Can't see from the gif in the app.

Your bot is running in an android emulator, right?

@Kyu96 it's mesmerizing :o

@Kyu96 I'd be excited to see the source :D any chance you publish it?

@nik123 *insert evil laugh that sounds like muhahahah*

That's brilliant and open sourcing is good :)

@AlgoRythm well, he did write a nice Algorythm

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?

I remember messing around with that game too, tapping left and right, trying to keep up with the branches, and then thinking about ways to automate the process. It’s funny how boredom can lead to learning new skills, like coding a bot that detects pixels and controls the game—it’s a neat way to blend gaming and programming. On a related note, I recently came across https://menaceking.com.in/app/, which offers a comprehensive platform for casino and sports betting in India. It’s interesting how these platforms are becoming more accessible, especially with crypto integration and user-friendly design. Exploring such sites can give insight into the evolving digital gaming world. The mix of entertainment and technology keeps things engaging, whether it’s a casual mobile game or a full-fledged betting platform.
