    If you want to play less game.. find one that you can enjoy for a long time(to not switch between games).. or just occupy yourself with other activities.
    If you don't like to grind, then play other type of genre..
    If you want to make a bot.. idk how to make one..

    The point of idle games is sort of that you aren't playing them, so I don't really get what you're saying. ... and whether it's modding (for everyone, not yourself) or creating a bot (for yourself), at some point you'll actually have to play the game for to understand exactly what your bot (or mod) has to do to function correctly, to test and correct that functionality, and, hell, just for inspiration.

    So at this point you're just slyly finding an excuse to play, don'tchaknow.

    yeah. I know and I had to focus back to my thesis. Perhaps just altogether drop the internet at home for some time. Thanks for this.

    Don't cheat unless you are good enough to build the game yourself. Just don't play games, it is time consuming and unrewarding. Have a dedicated machine for gaming and nothing else, this can prevent the loss of important data like records and photos while regulating hard drive space allocation.

    Just stop playing those kind of grindey games PERIOD. Your better off with emulated games or android games like XCOM which after you buy you can play fully with no annoying grindbait i.a.p.

    There are several popular multiplayer games that are not as grindy but way more fun. You can play this alone or with friends. Although knowledge of the game is important, it's not as important as your fun. You can totally make your own rules. Of course I'm talking about flying a kite, riding a bicycle, football (soccer for you Americans), baseball, tennis and basketball.

    Oh it's not that you want to play less games, you want to go to the next level of laziness which is letting bots play your game? Well gee, what's the fun in playing a game that you don't actually play? Just stop playing then.

    Yea, I would've ignored this thread or give a helpful suggestion in line with what you're asking for if you didn't get trigger up my kindness with your clickbait title.

    I cant personally empathise with games i just never got hooked up with them *shrug*.

    Tough more than a game i feel like the goal here is to make a bot~~~

    I once was addicted to an MMORPG , play 20 hours at a time, you try to reduce this grinding by setting up a bot but then end up watching the bot for almost as long, set up sound alerts that wake you up when people get nearby and everything. Bots don't solve anything :blobunsure:

    Exactly what I did when I used a bot to grind in Ragnarok Online. Bots don't solve anything at all. It just makes the game even less fun because you don't play it yourself.

    I want to stop gaming, and had been successful for 2+ months before this game is released. The fun would be strategizing. The database of the enemies stat and skills is already published. Now just need to optimize the decision making for the bot if I decided to make it.


    Agreed with this. the time consuming one is very true in android games. If I want to cheat, I'd already search for modified APKs (already found 1, tbh). I'm intending this for me to be less interested in the games itself, and for me to learn about lua programming (after all, it's not only useful at games) and machine learning.

    You don't need a reason to enjoy your hobbies, they're hobbies after all.

    mm... problem solved. I've stopped cold turkey. Learning lua is not that high in my priority, and I've stopped myself to play the games.

    C++
    Use win32 api to simulate input
    Use opencv for computer vision

    Or that's how I made my granblue and fate:go bots.
