EDIT: Fixed (sorry for the bad post formatting and generally bad code, was just a quick test to see if it worked, will refactor once I actually get it working) I'm working on a little personal project, which is an OCR-driven drop log for Runescape (This never actually interacts with the Runescape client in any way, no input) It's supposed to work by taking a screenshot of the Runescape client, finding any item text (which is done by itterating through each pixel and checking if it matches the item text colour, then converting the result to a pattern) and using OCR to turn this into a string (not the best method for this, but again, to test). To do this, I'm using patterns of each character in the Runescape font stored with the format: (Pattern being a boolean representation of each pixel in the image used to generate the pattern, non-white: true, white: false) And itterating over each pixel in the input image and looking for sequences that match the first part of a pattern, then repeating this for the pixels below the matched sequence until there is a part which does not match, or until the pattern is fully matched (yes, I know this is horribly inefficient and I have briefly looked at other OCR libraries, most of the ones which have the features I need have memory leak issues though). Currently, its only a test to make sure I can actually read text. One part of the code which searches for a matching sequence is giving an odd bug which I can't find the source of anywhere... GetCharacters: private char[] GetCharacters(bool[] value, SearchPattern[] patterns) { List<char> characters = new List<char>(); // Itterate over each pixel in the input image sequence. for (int i = 0; i < value.Length; i++) { foreach (SearchPattern p in patterns) { // Check if there is a match for the first line of the search pattern. if (p.IsMatch(0, value.Skip(i).Take(p.Lines[0].Length).ToArray())) // <-- Line where it fails. { // Check each line of the pattern for a match. for (int l = 1; l < p.Height; l++) { int offset = 0; bool isMatch = p.IsMatch(l, value.Skip(i + offset + (loadedImage.Width - p.Width)).Take(p.Lines[l].Length).ToArray()); // <-- May fail if (isMatch && l == p.Height - 1) { characters.Add(p.Character); break; } else if (isMatch) { offset += (loadedImage.Width - p.Width); } else { break; } } } } } return characters.ToArray(); } The call p.IsMatch(0, value.Skip(i).Take(p.Lines[0].Length).ToArray()) always fails because of the bug in SearchPattern.IsMatch loadedImage being a Bitmap object representing the input image. Skip and Take provided by LINQ. SearchPattern.cs using System.IO; using System; namespace RunescapeOcr { public class SearchPattern { public SearchPattern(string path) { using (BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(File.OpenRead(path))) { this.Character = reader.ReadChar(); this.Width = reader.ReadInt32(); this.Height = reader.ReadInt32(); int sequenceLength = (int)reader.BaseStream.Length - (int)reader.BaseStream.Position; this.Sequence = new bool[sequenceLength]; for (int i = 0; i < sequenceLength; i++) { this.Sequence[i] = reader.ReadBoolean(); } this.Lines = GetLines(Width, Height, Sequence); } } public bool IsMatch(int line, bool[] sequence) { // BUG: This check always fails no matter what I change. // For the test, this.Lines[line].Length is 5 (only characters used are both 5 pixels wide) // However, even though this.Lines[line].Length is used to select characters in GetCharacters, // it always ends up being with sequence.Length being 4 (for this test). // if I add 1 to this to get them to match, sequence.Length becomes 5, so the result ends up being 6 instead. // I've tried several other things (different operators (e.g. <, >, <=, >=, == etc.)) // but this condition will always change so that it throws an exception. if (this.Lines[line].Length != sequence.Length) throw new Exception("Sequence lengths do not match"); for (int i = 0; i < this.Lines[line].Length; i++) { if (this.Lines[line][i] != sequence[i]) return false; } return true; } protected bool[][] GetLines(int width, int height, bool[] sequence) { if ((sequence.Length / width) != height) throw new Exception("Corrupted Search Pattern."); bool[][] lines = new bool[height][]; for (int h = 0; h < height; h++) { lines[h] = new bool[width]; for (int w = 0; w < width; w++) { lines[h][w] = sequence[(h * width) + w]; } } return lines; } public char Character { get; private set; } public int Width { get; private set; } public int Height { get; private set; } public bool[] Sequence { get; private set; } public bool[][] Lines { get; private set; } } } I really can't see what is causing this bug... it always happens and seems to change dynamically to any adjustments I make.

oh, ok, not sure what it could be then.

I had problems similar to those when I tried modding minecraft before(wouldn't go past the update screen). For some reason, it doesn't like IZArc (assumed you used it from previous post). I would try using something like WinRAR or 7zip, it seems to get along with those fine.

I have been looking at different languages for GUI programming which I would use for several projects I mainly did GUI programming in C# due to .NET making it incredibly easy, but I want to try to do more cross-platform work I've looked briefly at a few of the cross platform languages, but I was wondering what the best is. I would prefer to steer away from languages would need the user to download some other platform for it to run e.g Java(I know most people would have Java already), Python(haven't really looked into Python much, but from my experience you need to download Python to run programs). I don't really mind learning a new language if it would help with this. at the moment, C++ looks like the best choice, but I would still like an opinion on what the best choice would be or on anything I may have missed.

ok, no problem just an after-thought, you could use the adventurers log to check and fill in most blanks from the highscores, it would be a wasted request though if the person wasn't a member.

Looks good, could be useful for the runescape client im trying to build. If you want any help with putting the results into a class structure instead of arrays and lists, I could try to throw something together for you? e.g: HighscoreResult result = RSapi.Highscores.getPlayerStats("username"); Console.WriteLine(result.Skills.Overall.Level); instead of List<string> result = RSapi.Highscores.getPlayerStats("username"); Console.WriteLine(result[0].split(',')[1]);

Very nice. Its alot better than my account and ive played for about the same time 8/10
