We are both working on our own bots over Skype; lol. He is better than me and has scripted in Autoit before so he's been a great help in helping me figure out why my code won't work, but I'm hardly asking him to write the thing for me.
Guys, just think logically how to do this. You don't need to read memory or anything, just look at the function list of autoit and think "how would lazypressing identify this, what is it doing, what keys is it sending, how does it know when you are finished a battle to click return to village. It's all just functions with variables, pixelsearches, loops, simulated mouse clicks, and using tesseract. The most difficult thing is eliminating human error. BUT, if you are just making the bot for yourself, it is really very easy if you just look at some documentation for autoit. I knew nothing 3 days ago and now have a bot that trains, searches bases, fights, etc.
Then ask here for some tips if you get stuck along the way. I won't be releasing my source code, unfortunately - but I'm willing to help if you're scripting it in Autoit!
Clash of Clans is a great platform to make your first bot. The game isn't that complicated and it would be a great learning experience.

Edit: Shit this thread has a lot of views!

I'd play around with Simba (specifically the OCR function first, then check out if the pixel recognition works for you as well) and if you think it's going to hold you back, use autoit instead.

Because if you make your bot in order of what to do first, you may end up realising Simba doesn't work too well for the arguably hardest tasks - the image recognition and pixel checks. One thing I will say about Autoit is there is a lot of documentation online, and the forums are full of useful advice, so there's that.

Edit: Here's a GUI I spent a while throwing together, I think it looks pretty. Trying to keep it all one tab to avoid complications, when I add more features we'll see about that.



I think it looks nice. My girlfriend made some other background images so the one you get is random when you load the bot.
