    Default Is Simba and it's OO Language designed for use with applications outside Runescape?

    Hi. I am planning on writing and application that can be used for reading basic text from images and buttons in a browser session, and making repeated decisions. It seems that most of the development using Simba is for the purpose of Runescape. Does Villavu encourage development of bots and macros for other applications such as enterprising and commercial ideas, and do the optical text recognition functions/color interpreters work with scenarios other than Runescape?

    You'd have to modify the fonts to work with whatever you're working with, but yes, the main purpose of SRL is geared towards Runescape. However Simba can be used for anything!

    Yes you can! I use(d) simba to bot/automate many different tasks, some of which I had to read text!

    What I found worked best was to generate a bitmap of the text and convert all the text you want to read to be white pixels, and everything else black pixels. then you can plug the clear black/white bitmap into tesseract and it generally gave me a good reading. (Not 100%, of course.)

    Just to clarify, Lape isn't an OO language.
