Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am trying to create a program to
monitor a game and detect when a specific player (me) gets a
kill.  I am specifically looking at Dota2. When a kill occurs,
the name of the killer and victim is displayed as text on the
screen (see link to in-game screenshot).  enter image

figuring this out. What are some suggestions on how to
accomplish this? I am guessing that I'd have to make a program
that grabs a screenshot every specified time interval and parses
all on-screen text to determine whether or not I got the kill.
However, I don't even know if I am going in the right direction
or even how to execute that.  I am very open-minded when it
comes to specific languages or frameworks. I'd just like to get
this project off the ground.  share|improve this question  1

game and parse messages from the game p
