History
Project Origins
StealthBot was originally created as a way for Stealth to apply the concepts taught in his sixth-period Introduction to Programming course at Madison's Memorial High School in the fall of 2002. He wrote the first line of code in the project on November 5th, 2002.
In the beginning, StealthBot used CleanSlateBot, a Microsoft Visual Basic control that allowed easy access to Battle.net. StealthBot entered the crowded Battle.net bot arena through the now-defunct website MadzBots. At this time, Battle.net bots were extremely complicated to set up, often shady and unreliable, and generally not accessible to the Battle.net population.
