Anyone seeking a tool to control the mouse and keyboard through scripts to automate interactions
About PyAutoGUI
PyAutoGUI lets your Python scripts control the mouse and keyboard to automate interactions with other applications. The API is designed to be simple. PyAutoGUI works on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and runs on Python 2 and 3. Moving the mouse and clicking in the windows of other applications. Sending keystrokes to applications (for example, to fill out forms). Take screenshots, and give an image (for example, of a button or checkbox), and find it on the screen. Locate an application’s window, and move, resize, maximize, minimize, or close it (Windows-only, currently). Display alert and message boxes. The bot watches the game’s application window and searches for images of sushi orders. When it finds one, it clicks the ingredient buttons to make the sushi. It also clicks the phone in the game to order more ingredients as needed. The bot is completely autonomous and can finish all seven days of the game. This is the kind of automation that PyAutoGUI is capable of.
