The program is taking a screenshot and searching the bitmap for the
upper left corner of the hexagon board, see function scan() in scrape.c

        for (py = 0; py < h - 1; ++py) {
                for (px = 0; px < w - 1; ++px) {
                        if (diff(R(px,     py), 0x25020C) < 4 &&
                            diff(R(px + 1, py), 0x25020C) < 4 &&
                            diff(R(px, py + 1), 0x25020C) < 4 &&
                            diff(R(px + 1, py + 1), 0x7F7F7F) < 4) {
                                fx = px;
                                fy = py;
                        }
                }
        }
        if (fx < 0 || fy < 0) {
                printf("anchor not found!\n");
                free(p);
                return;
        }

It looks for a two-by-two pixel square where the bottom-right pixel has
RGB color 127,127,127 (grey) and the other three pixels have RGB color
37,2,12 (redish almost black).

You could try to take a screenshot, write it into a bitmap file, open
that with MSPaint and check the RGB colors of the pixels at the upper
left corner of the hexagon.

This still works for me on Mac with Safari, if I find time I can give it
another try on a more recent Windows with an up-to-date cygwin.

I guess you could also just move the browser window so the corner is at
a known position, and edit scrape.c to simply set fx and fy to those
coordinates and rebuild a binary.

HTH,
Daniel
