Hi,
I need software that will monitor open tables on Pokerstars, which is a reputable, freely downloadable online poker client. Each player that is seated at the table is color-coded with a ring, showing whether they are a good or bad player. Bad players are coded with the color green. Others are colored differently. You can see an example of a table here:

In the above screenshot you can see Sams120 is the "bad player" at the table. The orange players are "good players" and there are two unmarked players.
Here is what the program must do:
- As soon as I open new Pokerstars tables, they must be sent to a specified location on my screen where they will be stacked on top of one another - we will call this the "observation stack."
- The program must constantly scan all tables in the observation stack. If a green or unmarked player is detected, it must instantly sit to the direct left of that player and move the table to a second specified location, which we will call the "active tables stack."
- Another functionality the program must have is that if a "reserved seat" is detected in the observation stack, the program must sit to the direct left of that seat as well, and also move it to the active tables stack. Here is a screenshot of a reserved seat, marked "R" : [login to view URL] - the reserved seat will then change to one of three things - (a) a player that is unmarked or colored green (b) a player colored otherwise or (c) an empty seat. If it is (b) or (c), the table is closed, otherwise, the table is kept.
- In the event that the seat the program tries to take is taken, it must sit to the left of that seat. If that seat is taken, to the left of that one, and so on.
- There are two types of tables, 6-player and 9-player tables. The program must work for both.
- A hotkey to move a table to the observation stack is required.
- The program must be VERY quick.
This type of program has been deemed legal by Pokerstars and is not against the TOS.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for clarification/details of any kind. Depending on how well the program works I will happily pay more than the listed budget price.
Thanks,
Martin
I see exactly what you need.
I developped many apps based on windows hook, automation screen scrapper etc..
I also developped many apps similar to the one you need.
I have only one concern, the "Observer stack", the tables that are already opened, do you intend to open them manually? or you want the app to open them for you. it makes a big difference. in the first eventuality, the project is straightforward. in the second eventuality, it could take a little more time to grab the lobby for the desired tables.
In all cases, I garantee that you will have a very robust solution. we can have something to test from the first 3 hours of work.
