GeForce NOW queue alert - sound notification when ready

checkGame.ahk

; GeForce NOW Queue Notifier (AHK v2)
;
; Since queues can be long, this script alerts you when your game starts.
;
; THE "HACK":
; IT DOESN'T INJECT ITSELF, DOESN'T DO OCR, IT'S 100% LEGAL
; I noticed that GeForceNOW.exe (the main app) launches a child 'tracert' 
; process exactly when the queue finishes and the game begins to load. 
; This script monitors for that specific event.
;
; COMPATIBILITY:
; Written in AHK v2 for easy parent process verification. In v2, we can 
; confirm that 'tracert' was actually spawned by GFN, avoiding false 
; positives from other system network diagnostic tools.
;
; USAGE:
; 1. The script stops monitoring after the first detection Restart it for 
;    your next gaming session.
; 2. (Optional) Uncomment the TraySetIcon lines to see script status 
;    visually. Need an icon? Try: https://mini.krzysiu.net/icon-generator/
; 3. Custom Sound: Change "C:\Windows\media\tada.wav" to any file you like.
;    May be MP3! See: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/SoundPlay.htm
