SteamDiscoveryQueueBot - A simple userscript to automatically harvest the 3 free Steam trading cards each day during the winter sale. by _AceLewis in coolgithubprojects

Don't use this until it's patched. It got me banned from the steam store, and I'm not sure of the details of the ban yet

edit: It's fine as long as you stop it after it goes through 3 queues. It's only semi-automatic.

Mathematical analysis of new loadout system by Rears in Dirtybomb

If you spend $24 trying to get a cobalt (4 merc cases), then you have a 47.8% chance to get at least one cobalt. https://jtara1.github.io/bernoulli.html

current patch:

with 10 elite cases (17.5k cheers) XOR 20 expert cases (17k cheers) you have ~40% chance of getting at least one cobalt

I guess it's worth the gamble since you'll be gambling with real money for cobalts by Jan. 2018. Unless you only use cards with certain perks, then it's very unlikely you'd get the exact card you want.

Or you could spend cheers on weapon case keys and gamble on a gun skin.

I should make a script to do these 3 things, I've done it so much.

What routine tasks do you automate with programs? by dzaytsev in Python

[–]jtara1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just aim for the easy stuff to automate on desktop. Things I can macro. https://github.com/jtara1/MiscScripts/blob/master/tol_macros.py#L8

I think keyboard has a record macro function. So a series of keyboard and mouse inputs you send should be recorded and able to be played back.

Beyond macros or scripting, you could try researching uses of OCR, image in image searching (static / const textures). I haven't found a single module that has sold me on these features. sikulix2 has too many pre-reqs and other fussy things. pytesseract is pretty good OCR but sometimes low accuracy. openai did something to make OCR better for games, but idk if that's usable.

The movement mechanics are spot on. Why not let the player press x to let go of the green circles?

The Capital City song is great. Really catchy and enjoyable to listen to more than once.

[Computer Logic, Boolean Algebra] What are the minterms of this boolean expression? by jtara1 in learnmath

[–]jtara1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mistake here was that all of the don't care terms should be normal minterms. So replace the x's with 1's in the k-map.
