So there's this game I play, which for some reason requires me to solve a simple picture puzzle everytime I login.

I was wondering if I could automate this using AHK.

Here are some examples:





At first I thought I could try something with PixelSearch, but as seen in the 2nd picture, sometimes there is minimal difference in the shade/hue. What functions do you guys recommend I try to work with, or better yet, any complete ideas on how to solve this?

the only thing i could think of is scan it in a grid, and pick out the grid square that contains a color different from the rest.

That's sort of what I had in mind, but I don't think it would work for the 2nd picture, as it seems they've deliberately made the flags have a couple pixels with the same color as the unique object.

I thought about this overnight, and I think one way might be to also introduce a frequency count of colors, but how efficient is thousands of pixelgetcolor function calls and storing thousands of color variables? Would the script be too slow?

Ah lame, I pretty much finished the entire script to do this, only to realize at the end that ~10000 pixelgetcolor function calls is insanely slow.

I did a 120x120 pixelgetcolor (14400) and simply had it click the lowest frequency color in a 10x10 grid of 12x12 pixel cells lol...

So back to the drawing board, anyone have an elegant solution that's faster than spamming pixelgetcolor?
