My first was written to play the games on a local BBS, way back when. ![]() Posted in Software Hacks Tagged bejeweled, bot, puzzle, solver, solving Post navigationīots are fun and intellectually challenging to write. ![]() That’s the difficult part, choosing the best move is just a matter of coming up with your own rules on how the bot should play the game. Many of the jewels are easily recognized in this first pass, but some are harder and require several different tests to identify. The program then identifies each game piece by finding the center of the cell and taking a 25 square-pixel average color. You can see at the beginning of the video after the break that he sizes his app to properly align each jewel in its grid. His code (he’s not releasing it so you’ll have to write your own) scrapes the screen image as input. We spoke with yesterday afternoon to get a bit of background on how he made this happen. We think you’d be hard pressed to achieve a 1.5 million range score by yourself, even with that amount of practice time. He figures he took between 48 and 72 hours of coding over a couple of weeks, but remember, he was learning the language at the same time. He was learning to write in the C# language and decided to make a bot that plays Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. Programmers don’t need to get good at a game to achieve a high score, they code a bot for that instead. ![]()
