You make an auto with 2 things:

A way to interface with the game, be it intercepting and returning packets or moving the mouse through Java Robot (whatever) or just sending the click command low level through some API call to the screen.  Depending upon how your auto works you may also have to find a way to read from the screen, the most common method being to look at colors, but there are other ways :).

An algorithm to solve the puzzle or do whatever.  This is usually the hardest part.  A simple blackjack auto would work like this:

Deal
Read Cards
While < 16
    Hit
Repeat

Now, turn that into code, watch for intermissions, dialogs, make sure the timing seems semi-random etc.  It's not an easy process, but it's actually a pretty good programming excersize (or Macro if you're ghetto like that).  Anyways, if you're not really into it you can really help out auto makers by purchasing their's for little money.

You don't make autos. You buy autos from Oscar. ;)
