Remote game control and monitoring through Telegram
An asynchronous desktop companion for Sky: Children of the Light. It connects a Telegram interface with a Windows game client, making selected controls, screenshots, chat and progress information available from a phone.
What it does
Screen and chat monitoring
Captures screenshots on request, reads visible chat text from the screen, and relays updates to Telegram.
Smart Start
Automates a startup routine: launches the game through Steam, waits for it to load, moves through the start flow, and collects initial stats.
Progress tracking
Recognizes the visible candle balance and estimates daily earnings while accounting for server reset timing.
Multi-user administration
Uses JSON-based roles and an admin panel to manage access, personal greetings and activity logs.
Cleaner Telegram UI
Uses inline buttons for controls and removes older bot messages to keep the active chat easier to use.
How it works
01 · StartRun the Python companion on the Windows PC.
02 · ConnectOpen the Telegram bot from a phone or desktop.
03 · RequestChoose a control or monitoring action in Telegram.
04 · RespondThe local script performs the action and returns relevant screen information.
The project reads the game through captured screen images and sends simulated keyboard/mouse input. Its design does not depend on reading the game’s internal memory.
Technical approach
Computer vision and OCR
OpenCV and Tesseract OCR extract visible chat and balance text. Image preprocessing—such as scaling, binarization and noise filtering—helps make recognition more reliable.
Concurrent tasks
asyncio keeps background work, such as chat monitoring, running without blocking the Telegram control interface.
Desktop interaction
Uses Windows automation libraries to capture the screen and send game controls from the local computer.
State and access
Stores lightweight user roles and activity data in JSON, with Telegram-side administration for access management.
