## A script that played arithmetic games

How I Started Building with Code

In my third year of high school, our school ran online mental-arithmetic and 24-point games. I built a script that recognised the questions on screen, solved them algorithmically, and entered the answers automatically. Each answer brought up another question, and the script kept going until the game timer ended.

The recordings below show the complete automation loop, with screen recognition, a solver, and simulated input working together.
