LF clarification between python and c# for bots

[radr5]

a lot of people recommend c++, but im not a fan of that language. it seems other than c++, c# or python is the way to go. if i dont care about a gui (completely fine using cli), what are the benefits of each language FOR BOTTING. i dont care about anything non-botting related, i already use ruby/java on a daily basis. im looking to add a botting language.

most bots i will write will run on windows, but i think some may run on linux (cheaper vps for android emulators). for linux bots, does mono work well, or is c# pretty much a no-go?

i dont use either c# or python atm

does it really matter which i use?

It all depends on which kind of games you're going to bot and how you want to interact with them!

Let's assume that you're going to bot android game (you mentioned emulating android), then a simple pixel-detection bot might suffice?
In that case you can use any of the languages you mentioned, even java/ruby! But generally I like to think about it like this:
Can it be solved with a high level language without going great distances? Then do that! Python, Ruby, Java etc...

Other games, such as WoW (this is a forum for wow originally after all!), may often require lower level languages (cause you don't want to settle with just pixel detection and mouse/keyboard inputs).

I hope this helps you atleast some! =)
