      i dont think that would work perfectly as the distance is not the same as the time the person has to hold on the screen bc the distance can be like lets say 100 px but i think holding only 0.1 sec on the screen would not make that far as you can see in the video too it sometimes drops a little bit far so its no perfect but it works so for the perfection someone would have to actually calculate the exact distnce it draws in like 1 sec and then we can get the value for 1 milli sec according to that

    The stick growth uses an easing algorithm, so at the start it grows slowly and then grows a little faster. That's why you miss on short sticks and very long ones.

    • @SunnyNagam
      @SunnyNagam ปีที่แล้ว

      I bet you could account for that by making the percentage decrease with the distance by some other coefficient. Like instead of * .98 it's * (.98 - 0.000002*distance)

  • @Hasan...
    @Hasan... 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Easier way: Have the exact height for the 'Red box', and start and stop based on the distance till the Red box, without worrying about any Blacks (or even gaps) because the starting position of the Ninja remains the same on the screen.. It's a matter of minor trial and error to calibrate. Great video E-Man !

    @williamdowling7718 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    i know i'm kinda late to the party, but i just found this today. Seems like the sleep command at the end of the loop should be dependent somehow on the length of the previous transition. because a longer gap will take longer to walk across, having a set time interval isn't optimal.
    alternatively you could put a condition at the beginning of the loop that checks the delta of your transitions to see when the screen scrolling motion stops indicating the character has arrived at the edge of the next platform and the rest of the loop is ready to go, no waiting.
    Good stuff man. can't wait to see what else you've got in store for me on the channel!

  • @jemakrol
    @jemakrol 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Python is just awesome. Great video! Beyond the scope I know but I'd scan from top-left downwards to get the proper starting location of Y without hardcoding. That would suggest breaking out the transition detection into a reusable function.
    Furthermore, I feel it's kinda waste if time to store the screenshot on file. Haven't tried the libs in question but if it's possible to screen cap directly inro memory I'd consider it way more neat.
    Finally it would be interesting to actually clock the time drawing the stick and dynamically adjust the timing along the way to get better accuracy.
    Of course, that's all overkill for a proof of concept as shown here. However, it does take into account good practices and interesting extensions like reusability and device independent code. I believe the code required to do it wouldn't be too complicated.
    Again, great video!

  • @alexdominguess
    @alexdominguess 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I would have a diiferent approach on how to find the distance by finding the red square that each column has using the pyautogui that has a function that finds an specific image in the screen and return the center position of that and then do all the math you did.

  • @maxikuck1308
    @maxikuck1308 4 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Instead of multiplying by .98, you should've subtracted by a constant value. the problem was that the stick doesnt spawn exactly at the start of the gap but a few pixel to the left.

  • @klarkforgetit2642
    @klarkforgetit2642 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

  • @fototrip9346
    @fototrip9346 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Taking a screenshot makes sense, but I wish there was a more "live" way of reading screen pixels in general. If you could read pixels as they update you could press the screen until a certain pixel above you turns black, always giving you the right distance.

      @@EngineerMan your resolution is the "long pole in the tent" when it comes to using CV. For this simple task it would be suitable, however operating on text/more intricate designs makes it far less trivial.
      Also, maybe you can consider saving the screencap to a bytesIO object to ensure you're always operating on the correct image. You can reduce your time.sleep that way as well.

    Nice 1-1,5 hours coding task. Including full environment installation (had already only Pycharm). I did it some coding with openCV, as I have experience working with it - and I would assume to code more on that side, anyways. The most difficult one was to detect where the ledge the ninja was standing is *in all situations*. In that sense this is a good task also, that your phone may have different speed with keypress; I had to adjust speed by factor of 0,73. 100 climbs(?) passed already.

    I think, one way to optimize it is to relate sleep time with the distance. Because, the shorter the distance the shorter time it takes for the stickman to travel 🤔

    You can take screenshots every few milliseconds and compare them to know if the animation is over, maybe just the lower part of the image where nothing moves

      @@EngineerMan would it be easier if you use android emulator instead? And one more question, does automating other game have similar workflow like, screen capture, detecting certain color on certain part and adding certain input?
      I'm working on mobile development, and some bit of python. I think game automation would be an interesting project to work on. Idle games should be a simple project to automate, right?

    you could make it a lot more faster by waiting untill last screen shot was the same as current
    example:
    loop untill the screenshot bytes stay the same then run

    You could use numpy.diff and numpy.argmax/min to find the sharpest transitions from black to whatever color. Don't know the game and if it applies to all backgrounds, but for a start it should work quite elegantly

    Engineer man, nicely done. Q. If the start point is always the same and the height does not change, why not got to the row that contains the target piece, check that row for the red target RGB values and subtract the difference?

    If you want to do it really overcomplicated:
    Do the following
    Check If pixel != black and store it
    Then you'll get
    _____,-------------,______,--------
    Then do a 2D convolutional algorithm with a kernel of [1,-1]
    Then you'll get
    ________|______,______|____
    |
    Basically it has small peaks and holes where the transitions are.

    this is a really neat video and I would have loved to recreate this and see how far I could take this but well... I don't even know where to start, like how tf is the screen on your monitor, is it an emulator is it an actual phone, how are you passing commands to the phone just like that, how do I learn that, where do I start, how far could I take that..... soooooo many questions???? ended up just watching this video like any other youtube video, now I've got the information stuck in my head that this is a possibility and my brain will hurt till I figure out how, thank you.... for making my head hurt... great video though! #like👍
