Greetings Ownedcore community,
I've never played WoW so I didn't know about this place, but a friend of mine pointed me in this direction, telling me that it was a solid community and would be a great place to go for questions/collaboration regarding my personal project.
I'm doing a bit of career change exploration, and part of that involves being able to code. I want to challenge myself as a start; a concrete, achievable goal. I've decided that I would like that goal to be to create a 3rd party program for hearthstone. The core function I'd like to create and possibly build around would be probability calculations. Simply, what is the likelihood of the other player to have 'x' card or combination of cards. I've already got a ~90% finished, functioning spreadsheet to handle this:

I want to turn this into a clean UI overlay, or if that's too fancy have it as an external window. I want it to calculate in real-time without any input from the user. Here are some nice programs I've found so far that look closest to what I want to make myself:

What I know so far: HTML, word press, messed around with python on codecademy.com a bit.
What I don't know: DLL injection, memory/packet reading, packet injection, actual script, what progam (IDE if any) to build code in, what language to use (I imagine several are fine), how to make a UI overlay, how to make a GUI, how to open and use open source code, how to compile.. and most of all, how to script. I'm basically a complete noob.
What I'd like is just to be pointed in the right direction, if anyone tech saavy can offer their advice. I'll just learn on my on, but it'll go much better if I know where to look or could break the project down into a list of finite steps.
If anyone wants, they're more than welcome to use my spreadsheet. If I can get this thing finished, I'll certainly keep it open source and link it here if it turns out to be worthy.
Halp!

Oh yeah, did you guys know that this site is apparently banned by the government in South Korea? Lol. The only other things I've seen banned here are porn, and anything from North Korea. I have to use a VPN to be on here -_-
