Hey All,

I'm looking for some help from coders out there. I want to make a simple program that does some things based on reading the chat boxes on stars and full tilt. Maybe also reading some info on the table. I was wondering what programming language works best for the UI interactions, something like C#? I was also wondering if someone could point me to some code examples of reading other programs info, or has some source they're willing to share, cool too. Thanks

What kind of simple program?

PokerStars explicitely forbids software that would give hint by analyzing a hand currently being played and explicitely forbids software that automate actions based on analyzing a hand currently being played.

Anything giving stats/infos based on previous hands are fine...

But what you ask sounds like something forbidden by stars.

Give a very detailed as to what your "simple program that reads the chat box and reads some info on the table" plans to do and once we see it's not for bot-like purpose we may be able to help you

Oh, and bot related topics are forbidden on 2+2

Reading the Stars chat in realtime is horribly hard. reading FTP chat is not so bad IIRC, but still very tough. Stars makes a point of not wanting programs to read it. mostly bots.

If you can play on Party or iPoker, they have much easy access to their chat texts, Party in particular is trivial.

i just wanted something that remembers the folded door cards in stud, and shows them in a nice gui, is that forbidden? i guess i should have checked if it was allowed before i even started trying. i was looking, and i dont even think stars dealer says the cards anyway, so many just for full tilt, its not something i need, i was just bored and thought it might be easy

oh, okay, nm then. why is it forbidden? i don't think it gives me any edge, just would allow me to play more tables?

I assume because remembering hole cards is considered a skill in stud games. I honestly think they should leave the cards blurred and exposed so I can 24 table Stud8, but I think most of the players that play it for edge would be upset about that.
