Thank you :) it doesn't fully automate a run but it could be modified to do so

@@Taking1n1 fair, it would be really fun to see how theoretically fast you could actually go in BWA

@@SporianSummit ​ tbf, PyLex isn't optimal with damage output, it only judges word value by individual tile score or length. It doesn't consider treasures like the bow of xyz. For a proper TAS tool, it should consider these aspects. But it would be cool to see :) (I am too lazy to do that with this project)

@@Taking1n1 true, you did do a really good job already

Hmm, if the Spanish version uses Spanish words, you can use a Spanish dictionary to query words. When I made pylex I ripped the English dictionary from the game's files, but as I don't have the Spanish version I can't really do that. If you like, you could rip it; there's a page on the wiki that talks about the games files, how to extract it etc. You could also find a regular Spanish dictionary from online, only thing is some words might not work in BA (which pylex accounts for) As for the 32 bit version, it's just the fact that I compiled it on a 64 bit machine. You can pull the repo and build, but I'll try and compile a 32 bit release. I'll tell you when I publish it because I'll need you to test it as I don't have a 32 bit machine so it'd work regardless.

hola

interesting, so it finds the game but fails to input words? Is it able to read the screen and compute possible words to use? Also could you tell me a bit about what you're running pylex on e.g. what OS you're using?

could you go into more detail on what you did leading up to the crash, what causes it to crash, any information you can give me?

Hi, I've never tried it on android before 😅 this has only been tested on stock Windows. Perhaps the win32 api PyLex uses doesn't work properly on an emulator? If so , I unfortunately can't help you there, sorry

Could you be a bit more specific

Hi there! Sorry but I have no intention of maintaining this project or fixing issues, it's really old 😛 it is open source though, so you can edit the source files yourself if you know python? Link is in the description

it should be exactly the same as v1.0 😛 except with bugfixes and UI tweaks

Hi there, doing a TAS speedrun of the whole game would take quite a while 😅 I'd also need to automate things like navigating menus which would stray a bit from the original goal of PyLex, but that is quite a cool idea. Also, you can slow down the typing using the 'Typing Speed' and 'Submit Immediately' settings on the bottom right.

could you explain your errors in more detail please?

Hi there, I'm glad you like PyLex 😁 Unfortunately it does not detect gems, but that would be a pretty useful feature. Perhaps in the future, I'll adapt this program so that it supports gems, as well as other score-boosting things like the XYZ bow.

Hi Marian, could you go into a bit more detail on how you're using PyLex and what it's doing?

@@Taking1n1 So I open open the game, then open PyLex. I used windowed BA.

And it doesn't show the full letters grind

@@Taking1n1 Also, do I need to use Python?

@@mulaispulailegionar3512 what else do you see on PyLex? Does the screenshot show up or is it still a black screen? Do the grid letters show up in highlight-able text on the box to the right? Also what are you running PyLex on (e.g. your OS), and where did you get your copy of BA1 and BA2 from? Also you don't need to have python installed I don't think, the executable should package python in with it

use a spanish dictionary, there's a button to change dictionaries on the GUI

@@Taking1n1 Hi! Thank you for responding me, i really hoped one day to receive a message from you... so, basically i need help with the PyLex,, want to make an italian version, but i want to explain my necessities to you with details, could you give me your contacts? discord, facebook, e-mail or you can choose it by yourself, i will be grateful for the help you would/will give me, thanks again!!!!! i am looking forward to it

Just have the game open, then run pylex 🙂

sure thing; could you tell me a bit more about your problem? For example what happens to pylex when you try to use it with BWA1, does it find it or not, do you press "search for game window" when BWA1 is running, what's BWA1 like on your computer (is it installed to program files or do you just run the program from a folder) etc. The more the better so I can hone down the problem easier :)

@@Taking1n1 Sure thing. I will reply with an info dump to help diagnose the issue. Give me 5 minutes or so.

Alright. Here's all of the information I have so far: -> It is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\PopCap Games\Bookworm Adventures Deluxe -> Pylex, even after having pressed "Search for game window" could not locate the game. I have tried: -Pylex runninng as admin, with BWA running as admin & not running as admin. -Pylex not running as admin, with BWA running as admin & not running as admin. -> I used 7zip to extract Pylex and the resources into one folder. Essentially, I followed the installation instructions. -> I am running BWA with "Windows Vista" compatibility settings. Is there anything else that you need to know? Also massive thanks for giving me your time of day.

​@@margon9181 Could you go into your program files and tell me the filenames of the bookworm adventures executable files? I ask because PyLex not only identifies BA by window title, but by file name as well. The reason why it checks the filename too is because you could save a notepad document called "Bookworm Adventures". PyLex recognises a window title as BA by checking for the string "Bookworm Adventures" inside it. If it only checks the window title, PyLex would see that notepad instance as "Bookworm Adventures.txt - Notepad" and would be tricked into thinking that this is Bookworm Adventures. To circumvent this, it also checks the program filename as well, so it would also see "notepad.exe" and would clearly be able to see that this is not BA. It checks for the string "BookwormAdventures" in the filename, so if your executable name is different (for example "Bookworm Adventures.exe" with a space), then it won't recognise it. If your BA1 executable already has the text "BookwormAdventures" in its filename (for example simply "BookwormAdventures.exe" and "BookwormAdventuresVol2.exe" for BA2) then forget everything I said; it's not the problem 😅 If it's named something different then rename it to "BookwormAdventures.exe" and then try again.

Thanks for the reply. The name of the executable happens to be "BookwormAdventures.exe". Go figure. The name of the program while it is running is "Bookworm Adventures Deluxe 1.0". As you said in your final paragraphs, it's probably not the issue. Just in case, I copied the exact name you specified and pasted it over the executable's original name, even though it changed nothing name-wise. Pylex still cannot recognize BWA. Again, numerous thanks for your time.

@@Taking1n1 Iam doing that right now

I'm using Pylex Vol 1

Is it required to download full version of bookworm? I just download a cracked full version of book worm and it Pylex can't detect it.

what OS are you using?

In what way would you want to see how pylex works that this video doesn't demonstrate?

of couse not, how could you have done anything wrong, inky encore 0429? :)

Probably something like 1920x1080. This video isn't capturing my entire screen btw
