WinREACH has already been used for everything from routine system maintenance to providing the glue between outside lab results received via e-mail and the entry of those results into a lab system via a terminal emulator. To illustrate this very serious product is a very frivolous demo. This demo plays a game of Minesweeper. It will launch Minesweeper if it is not already running, start a new game if necessary, and even continue an existing game. How does it work? It reads the screen pixels to find the edges for the smiley face icon and the game squares. It compares the smiley face image against the known icons for an active game, a lost game, and a won game. It will continue to play until either the smiley face icon indicates game over or until the user cancels the game with either Ctrl-Esc or Ctrl-Alt-Delete. In order to play, it reads the screen by matching colors against those used by unmarked squares, question mark squares, and flag squares, and the clicked squares which can be empty or display the numbers 1 through 8. If a number square is surrounded by the same number of unknown squares, then they are all marked internally as bombs and avoided. They don't have to be marked with flags, as the script can remember they are bombs on its own. On the other hand, if a number square has that many known bombs surrounding it, then all other unclicked squares are not bombs, and they will be clicked. When the script can no longer mark squares as bombs or click the definite non-bombs, it must guess. But generally, it plays a pretty good game.
