FNAFBot

This is a project I made to learn the basics of C++, computer vision, and automated control.

The Bot

This project mainly relies on the following

• OpenCV https://opencv.org/
• The Windows API
• Visual Studio 2022
• A game simple enough to be beaten by a script

The game I picked, "Five Nights At Freddy's," is the perfect game for a starter project like this. The entire gameplay consists of looking at still images and reacting. I barely had to do any fancy tricks with the vision software.

The bot uses OpenCV to do the following:

1. Take a screenshot
2. Load the reference image
3. Output the confidence of that reference image being in the screenshot

After that function was built, all the other functions were built around it. This game is controlled entirely by clicking static elements. All the necessary commands are set as constant positions.

Every move was also built with checks or redundancy. For example, the game has a quirk where a light may not turn on when clicked. The bot will check the image to see if the light is turned on and will try again if it isn't.

All moves were broken down into separate functions. These were put together in a loop in the main function. The bot is able to keep playing through the entire game.

The program can be downloaded and run here:

Results may vary as your screen may be a different aspect ratio from mine.
