Don't top-post, Frank. I'm here, just been thinking on it. I'm also not
the only person here, y'know, others know more than I do.

Here's a Google search on Peek and Poke in VB:

("visual basic" OR vb) peek poke - Google Suche

http://www.google.com/search?q=(%22visual+basic%22+OR+vb)+peek+poke

This page (the first returned) has a decent implementation but no
explanation:

Basically, you'll need to use the (undocumented) GetMemx and PutMemx
(where x is 1, 2, 4, or 8) API calls. You need to already know the
memory address you want to play with.

As for sendkeys, all it does AFAIK is place characters in the keyboard
buffer. If sendkeys is going too past, place a pause between keypresses,
like this:

SendKeys "1"
Sleep 100 'API call, wait about 1/10 of a second
SendKeys "p"

One problem specific to Starcraft is that you must have the right
building selected to build your probe, and that might be on the other
side of the map as the raging battle you're currently directing. A
better thing to do would be:

SendKeys "^2" 'or whatever it is to set a new location
SendKeys "1" 'to the main building
Sleep 100
SendKeys "p"
SendKeys "2" 'back to your current worries

Also, I don't remember if jumping to locations automatically selects the
building or not.

DON'T TOP-POST!

If I was to implement an auto-build function, I'd find out what
Starcraft does when you tell it to build a new probe. It's going to
modify a memory location somewhere, it's just a matter of finding out
which location and what happens to it. (My guess is it reserves a byte
or 2 in memory and then gives that byte a non-zero value to represent
what's to be built when it gets to that slot. But that's just a guess.)
