A Python powered bot that solves WordScapes levels through OCR.
The creators of the game WordScapes, PeopleFun, have asked me to take this down as people were using it to cheat online in WordScapes. Out of principle I respected their request, and have removed the code, it was a fun project and I hope some of y'all have been inspired to learn more coding because of this 🫶.
Download tesseract for Windows from UB-Mannheim: https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki
OR, install for MacOS through Homebrew:
brew install tesseract
Download a release from the release page then open your terminal and navigate to the folder the package was downloaded in; then run pip install wordscapesbot-1.1.5.tar.gz
Run the package by running python -m wordscapesbot in your terminal and following the instructuions that appear on the command line.
You can add arguments to the end of the expression ex. python -m wordscapesbot (argument here)
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
-s or --speed |
Used to set the input speed, enter a float to change the speed (ex. -s 2.5 inputs words 2.5 times faster) |
This isn't designed to be a cheating device, but rather a fun engineering problem to solve and a fun thing to watch. Case in point, this is ironically the hard way to go about it. I'm sure if someone wanted to, they could just change the app data, as Wordscapes can be played offline and will still update the leaderboard online. This suggests they have no actual verification to ensure that points earned offline were earned legitimately. But that would be boring and there would be no real technical problem to solve. As to why I made this in the first place, to provide context, this project started as a joke with some friends who we're bragging about how they were better than me in Wordscapes. And since I'm dyslexic I wanted a funny way to get back at them so I made this.
