Java Bot?

I'm learning Java for a class and I want to try and use it to make an EE bot. Does anyone here make bots in Java? If so, could you send me the source code so I can see how? Thanks.

Re: Java Bot?

I looked into it once, but it wasnt easy, although I think a some other people have managed it.

PlayerIO has an android api, which is in java, but iirc you cant use it directly for pc, so I'm assuming they either had to do somethink hacky to get it to work, or possibly use a java wrapper for one of the other APIs (probably a fair bit of effort)

Re: Java Bot?

I've never seen an Everybody Edits bot written in Java, so I doubt that anyone would based off it. The reason of this might be that there's no proper Player.IO Java SDK... when there is...

The issue is that Player.IO discourages Java for client making because of it's speed compared to other languages, and so decided to make their Java SDK only compatible with Android, by requiring you to use an Android Activity to establish connection.

Source

You can either:

• Replicate the Android Activity class.

• Use an Android emulator. This might be considered tedious to a point that working with another SDK is simply better, but it isn't a restriction. It'd be amazing to see Android bots, to be honest.
