title: Identifying and recording data from screen
body: <p>I am new to coding and I might be in over my head. I want to write a program that automatically generates the best optimal in-game choice for me to make. I can manage the calculations, but I need a way for my program to automatically identify and record certain things (like damage) by looking at my screen.</p>
  <p>Here is what I was thinking:</p>
  <p>I can run the program and it will search the screen for values (damage, type of attack, etc.). It will then record those values and run calculations, then return the optimal attack for me to make.</p>
  <p>To start, I need to write something that can look at my screen and identify values based on subsections of screenshots. How can I do this? Do I need PIL?</p>
