Windows 8 Style Bot

Has anyone thought of making a bot in the modern UI in Windows 8 and\or RT? Also, is it possible? You can make it and not put it in the store (you can sideload it), so I want to know if anyone has considered or will consider doing this.

Is it a good idea?

Re: Windows 8 Style Bot

My Account manager has used the metro style theme, but I didn't make available for win8 users only as by that time almost nobody used it (windows 8 was in release preview). PlayerIOClient is not compatible with the .NET framework of Windows 8 and so it would need a complete rewrite. But I'm pretty sure it is possible, with a lot of work.

I have never thought of programming for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out. That is the reason why I code.

Ok, thanks! I wanted to know since I thought that using an app instead of an .exe file could've been simpler, but I guess not if you'd need to rewrite the player.io client. Thanks!

As long as its written in a .NET language, and has access to the player.io API, it is perfectly possible.

Player Since 2011. I used to make bots and stuff.

Going back to old GUI, it?s a resource-intensive program. Transparent windows, shadows beneath icons and animation effects do nothing to improve the speed at which you can open programs; meanwhile they actively capture RAM on your system.

Wow, the newest guy ever came to comment, Or i say spam bot. Look at his sign!

Just build out a bot... then make it an extra "entity" instead of a window?
