Egg Inc Automation
I wanted to learn how to use GoCV, and had earlier been playing Egg Inc on my Android phone. As my son started playing it, I tried it again, but this time with the goal of learning something new at the same time.
Is it cheating? No, it’s optimization of your time.
Requirements:
- BlueStacks 5.5 Android emulator for Windows
- Egg Inc installed on emulator
- LOTS of CPU. I use 20 cores on my machine.
Settings in BlueStacks:
- 2560×1440 resolution (important!)
- Hotkeys:
- Home: HOME
- Back: PGUP
- Rotate: PGDN
- Recent Apps: END
Features:
- Rotate screen to portrait mode if needed
- Starts Egg Inc from launcher
- Watch ad for 2X boost when needed
- Watches ads for golden eggs, boosts, chicken boxes – but not for money (you can change this in the code)
- Doesn’t watch ads when you have soul mirror running
- Detects and takes down drones (uses drag-clicking to prevent popups if it misses, screen shakes a bit)
- Moves game location to best spot for spotting drones
- Debug window for detection debugging
- Detect and fix “blur” bug
- Multi-threaded and likes to eat your CPU
- Disables when BlueStacks has focus, so you can do manual stuff
Improvements that can be made:
- Launch BlueStacks if needed
- Restart BlueStacks in case of trouble
- Handle shutdown of BlueStacks more gracefully
- Auto research could be added
- Forward alerts of running out of chicken coop space or transporation limit hit
- Pyramid detection of templates to improve performance
- Logging with timestamps
- Better prediction of drone locations
- Some sort of GUI with on-the-fly settings changes
