    Because android game are grind intensive, I want to learn some way to automate grinding. Either recording some macro or using image recognition for the element of the game is what I want to do. Well... Training neural network on top of using emulator would be murder to my gpu.

    I'm kinda planning to learn lua (for expanding luaLaTeX first, ricing my desktop with conky second, not really my priority) and heard this about ankulua.

    So, my planning in the future is learning some kind of automation for playing games on android. Other than ankulua, what are my option?

    Missleading title, just say that you want a bot to play for you, instead of asking for ways to REDUCE the amount of games you play,
    cause crashing your graphic card only helps with the latter.

    Or you can stop playing games that are built using the same stimuli drug pushers do by giving a little good stuff up front and making you work to enjoy yourself

    Play BlazBlue’s mobile game. It’s automated most of the grinding for you.

    Nope. I want to learn to create the bot. Playing games should just be something that is useful to keep my interest, but I what I want is to learn new skills.

    Just play with yourself, it only takes a few minutes each run.

    Congratz, you finally unlocked the self-aware achievement where you find out that games that need bots just aren't fun games at all and the devs sucks.

    first you are going to need to watercool your phone because botting makes your phone extremely warm, i personally just fill up the bathtub with cold water but you could also use the sink or the ocean, whatever is easier for you.
    remember to have it plugged into a powersource or you are gonna run out of juice real fast!

    Hope that helps! :)

    Edit: for safety reasons always use waterproof electricity or you will end up like this idiot! http://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/18/health/teen-bathtub-electrocuted-text-trnd/index.html

    yeah. I just want to reduce the dopamine dependence on games. Learning to automate the game should give me project to increase my skills in machine learning and programming.

    In MMORPG's setting up the bot and running it can be fun in its own right, like some people play football games and some like playing football manager lol. Which field to use, how to avoid being reported, what route to make it walk, which mob to target first, at what % to heal etc. :blobwoah:

    Congratz on your clickbait title. Try not to do that again. No one likes it.

    Anyway, for the game thing, play better games. Most android games are trash, but there are some decent ones hidden in there.

    But you want to learn a new skill, then look up that skill. I'm not really sure why you are asking here, on a forum about translated novels.

    Go to some WOW forum and ask about botting, and then go there and figure out how to do that.

    well... Digimon links comes out and I can't help but installing it. I want to uninstall and concentrate to my thesis again. Might as well make this as a learning project. Perhaps later on I can experiment with other kind of automation like tasker or something.

    I'm despairing the prospect of grinding, but my completionist habit is there.

    Why don't you just switch to playing idle games.... I hear there's this new one where you leave a tab open and it magically generates money for the website's owner. Maybe try that.

    If you MUST learn lua and want to do something with games, how about you mod for Starbound or something? If I recall correctly, that's lua scripting, and other people will actually benefit from your learning, provided you make something decent.

    reminds me of FF12 gambits. I really have fun with that.

    mm... Thanks for the lead. Though I don't understand what world of warcraft has to do with this.

    digimon links happened. And i shouldn't really play. Maybe if this still interests me in the future. I don't really play games these days.

    I once caught a virus and had to soft reset before my Solid State D went down completely.
