Hello

I want to learn to code a bot that logs into myspace and does command task like accept friend request. Then take it a step further and be able to do stuff within their game apps. But not sure where to start. Some sample code would be very helpful.

Someone please point me in the right direction.

I have had some basic programming experience and scripting experience when I was younger. It has been a while so I need a good refresh.

Thanks,
Mike

Where the web is concerned it would be pretty difficult to maintain I think, because of how dynamic the net is....nothing tends to stay the same for very long.

Where applications are concerned (assuming your running windows here) you could use the message-passing nature of the OS to automate tasks. You'll need to send system messages at a pretty low level and will need to use a program like Winspector to find the control ID's for individual controls within the program that you want to automate etc and build your own messages.

Looks like a lot of fun - I don't have any links to pass on though, as I'm getting all this from an old magazine article so your on your own there It might be a little tough if you don't have much programming experience or knowledge of how your chosen OS works.

It would be pretty useful to have something like this I must admit - scripting is great for non-gui apps etc but in windows it can be a pain in the ass doing common chores manually.

I Googled "myspace development," pressed I'm Feeling Lucky, and came up with this.

Using the Facebook API, you could code an app in VB.NET or C++ that would do what you want. It's got pretty good documentation, and if you know either of these languages, it should be pretty easy to do.

I would write it as an app that runs on a scheduled basis with a minimal GUI, and maybe even sit in the task tray.

Just make sure it doesn't check the time too often -- that is, use very long timer events to wait for the next check.

@sloanthrasher I think you need more userbars. Nineteen is just not enough.

@miken16 are you on about using the MySpack API, or making your own application?
