Would you consider this unethical?

Say I were to make a computer application which runs in the background.
This application would play a game for me.

In this game, something appears every time you take a step, and say if I want to find something in particular, I set up the application so that it will check for what I am looking for after every step, and then if what I want doesn't appear, it takes another step and looks. If it does find it, it sounds an alarm, which I then can take over, acquiring what I am looking for.

If it's a bit confusing -

BEGIN

Do Until search(item) = true
KeyPress() //Either left, up, right, down
Search(item)
if Search(item) = true then
Output Message("Found item")
end if
Loop

END

The application would stop after finding the item, awaiting for me to carry out the acquiring process.

Would you consider this to be unethical or unfair for others genuinely trying to find specific items?
