I - Programming language and resources


Selecting a language

The first thing to consider is what programming language to use. I would recommend Java, C++ or languages at equal level. There are a lot of resources available on the net for these languages.
Some time-critical functions could be written in C to decrease computing time if you are using an older slower system.

I will describe how to build a bot using Java. Everything you need can be downloaded for free from sun.com.



Resources

Fortunately you are not the first person on earth who thought of building a bot. This means that you don't have to program everything from scratch.
Just google Java and you will find a lot of finished functions and pieces of code.
Below are a few links that I found extra useful.
