Greetings. Welcome back!
Overall the process seems fairly well explained, and code seems decent. Is A few comments.
Might be worth mentioning that roboflow is only free for a trial.
6:10 - you should not include the price in the annotations, as it might try and match the exact picture. Pre-submission edit: looks like you caught this. Good job!
12:45 - screen width and height can be calculated. Even for multi-monitor setups. No need to have those as variables for us to modify.
13:41 - all the `descion["buy"] = True` redundancies can be simplified down to `decision[name] = True. Similarly, you can use f-strings to do `decision[f"{name}_location"] = (center_x, center_y)`. This removes almost all of the conditionals (except the special cases such as "tree" and "building" scenarios - but again those could maybe be improved)
I took a quick look at your code on Github. Why is the requirements file so large? Surely not all that is required for this. Maybe you did a pip freeze without being in your venv?

lets go! Waiting every day for a new upload and it finally happened! Keep up the content bro you're the best!

[nopainnullgain]

Please do more AI bot stuff! you are my favorit content creator for bot stuff, you are so good at explaning and making it easy to understand.

[ontoshere]

This couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks! Can't wait to mess with this.

[leonardobradley]

You are back? Man Ive been missing your guides.

[JosephShapiroTech]

Great video. Thanks!

You mention in the video that you will share the colab link, but it isn't in the description or on the Github. Do you still plan to share it?

[arturorg]

I took like 1 hour annotating images and then the training in the google notebook gave me one error and I couldn't follow :(((

[BuLLGotcha]

You’re an amazing teacher, thank you. Have you considered taking on an FPS game?

[oneupparty]

I approve this, BUT you can take this one step further and install PYENV, this will allow you to set any python version you require for your specific project with out changing your system python. YOUR WELCOME > : )

[snefden]

You could colect more training data while letting the bot play

[NemPressaNemPreguica]

Very nice! So while the bot is working it still keeps takign screenshots, right? Do you add lines of code to delete them as you go? How many ss did it take in 13 hours?

[LivLiveLegends]

video is too short to learn i am a bigner, how u used those screenshot inside script..how i use this script for any other game?..do u know where i could find full tutorial videos?

[AlghostUnit]

Bots are more fun even than the games them self often lol

[rtm]

Is there an open source free version program like roboflow anywhere that doesn't have a pricing option?

[JanPeter]

Do to need to retrain after you changed the locations of the buy buttons?

[imjustprism]

i did 1/1 the same and not works, there is a error in the colab, custom training cell seems broken

[AchieveAplenty]

Hey bro you did really great job, so i have for you idea for your next content, lets make together video where you will help me to write my first ever bot😁

[rulofmg]

waiting for you to make another game automation series with SIMA when its released😆😆

[edypeqk]

Im talking to chatgpt rn about some like that but i need to farm in a small game area theres trees but you can only cut the one with the white circle RED marker in the middle of it

[sixthsense]

Try making a bot or AI for Clash of Clans to really test your botting skills, I've done it but haven't finished the project
