Bejeweled bot is a Java application that plays PopCap's Bejeweled Blitz by taking screenshots of the screen, detecting gem positions based on colour and moving gems using the robot mouse API.
Watch the video on YouTube to see it in action.
- A screenshot of the game board is taken with
gameScreenshot = robot.createScreenCapture(gameRectangle); - The colours of the gems are detected with
boardGems = board.getBoardGemColors(gameScreenshot); - The moves (gem swaps) to make are calculated with
LinkedList<Move> moves = Solver.solve(boardGems); - The moves are executed using the
java.awt.Robotmouse API:- The mouse is moved with
robot.mouseMove - The mouse is clicked with
robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);androbot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK); - This is performed on both of the gems to be swapped, causing them to swap places.
- The mouse is moved with
- This process repeats until the game ends or there are no moves to make a number of times in a row.
- The solver (that calculates the moves to make) could be better
- The supported gem colours are hardcoded but they could be automatically recognised
- Special gems (other than the standard seven colours) are not handled
- The screen position (top left) of the board is hard coded
- The game and the bot must be manually started
