a cliffhanger autoplayer o.o

[valseedian]

I can make one of those..

but I'd need a shell to test it on

cliffhanger is super easy to bot.

I'd be in favor of programs that can be run offline without direct connection to the account for the puzzle games for example. I've actually thought about 3 programs that I might write.

1. Shapeshifter - I believe there's one already out there but it's connected to neopets to run. I'd like an offline one where I can read in my game, compute it on my own PC, and press in the right solutions. Don't have to worry about timing and other stuff of connecting (like being caught using a program and frozen). Probably easy as the possible games is very small. #ways to place a piece * #pieces = small.

2. Cellblock - Similar desire for an offline version. I imagine an approach to solve this could be similar to how chess was solved the first time vs a human champion. Using a minimax algorithm but one with alpha beta pruning so that games can be computed in exponentially less time (hopefully seconds). Wouldn't even have to worry about faulty stepping like deep blue does as it is known to the human the technique and the presence of time forces the PC to recompute a tree in finite time to hopefully make a mistake if the player makes a 2nd best rather than best move. That would be difficult. Would take some time though.

3. Mystery pic solver - I'm debating how this could be handled. This might only be feasable offline. If I could somehow cache all of the possible neopets images (probably terabytes of possibilities), then it might be doable. There are siggraph papers for rapid search of image patterns across massive image databases by doing some precomputation and tree building. Would only require a similarity transform for the size and there wouldn't even be a rotational component to make it easier. Still probably the hardest of them all due to getting the images first.

If anyone had some ideas to help with these problems you can PM me or if Joe or some other programmer wants to take on these I spelled out how I think they could be approached.

I've been thinking about shapeshifter, and a better than brute-force algo.. Haven't come up with anything revolutional

BUUUTTT

I'm the fletch Joes' refferring to when he says he's waiting on me to bring the image library to fruition. I have have a MPIC solver in the past, basically bruteforce, bould solve 80% accuracy in about an hour and a half on a good computer (then). I've since built a newer one with days of pre-parsing the image database and it's just not spitting out the right answers, tho the solving time is less than a minute. I've frozen the project for the time being, but I still have all of the code, and, the entire image library from a few months back.

if you have some ideas on more resonant algorythms.. a way to squeeze 0ut more efficiency, let me know.. I love to do the analytical BS, I wrote the Neggsweeper AP for that very reason.. 1/2 way to gold trophy alltime in less than a month.

I must admit, I got halfway through reading all the suggestions and got impatient.
But I was thinking, maybe an RS Ban checker?
Like, ones that told you when your account/s were unbanned? (:

i didn't see an altador plot completer around here o.o...maybe consider making 1?

[Evelsaint]

Still wish there was an Autopricer for SDB items, totals the values and puts the most expensive items at the top.

Smugglers Cove Autobuyer !!!! i think i saw one somewhere else but i dont think it was safe

[eltiolukee]

How bout a edna's autoquester? i'm pretty sure more than one of you guys hate her guts

It would certainly help with the water plant part due to how cumbersome and tedious it is. Don't really think any of the other parts would really need a program, but that's just me.

That stupid punch club thing always gets me.

A battledome opponents grabber?
Seriously, Garoo, Kastraliss, Snow Beast.
They all annoy me and I only need them now.
