Achievement unlocked: use .NET to unlock Xbox achievements

By Michaël Hompus

Elevator Pitch

While playing the trivia game “Scene It?” on my Xbox in 2007, I had the feeling that with a camera, a computer and some software, it should be much easier to get the correct answers.

Today, there are lots of tools at my disposal so I can finally build that application and get those achievements!

Description

While playing the movie trivia game “Scene It?” on my Xbox 360 back in 2007, I had the feeling that with a camera, computer and some software, it should be much easier to get the correct answers to the questions in the game. Fast forward to today: I now have lots of tools and frameworks at my disposal so I can use all my programming skills to build that application. To finish those achievements that eluded me for so long.

In this session I will go through the techniques I used. You will see how we can use .NET Core with OpenCV, Custom Vision, ML.NET, events, sagas, Tesseract, and more, to answer every question the game will throw at us.
