Introducing Robot - The Next Step in System Automation

[Torpedoes]

Native Cross-Platform System Automation

ABOUT

Robot is a simple cross-platform library designed to facilitate the development of system automation software. The library works by abstracting away all platform-specific differences into a single, robust API compatible with most desktop operating systems. The API is available in both C++ and Node flavors and supports Windows, Mac and some distributions of Linux. Robot is production-proven with no additional dependencies, it is powerful enough to be the primary tool for many professionals yet simple enough for learning and experimentation.

QUICK START

Here's a quick 30-second demo of Robot for Node.js. Some things of note, yes this is JavaScript and yes it's fast. You can do all sorts of neat things with it and you have the full backing of the entire JavaScript community! If you need a UI, there's always the browser, among other things :-D

npm install robot-js

var robot = require ("robot-js");

var keyboard = robot.Keyboard();
// Type on keyboard: "Hello ROBOT!"
keyboard.click ("+hello +(ROBOT1)");

// Set mouse cursor position
robot.Mouse.setPos (10, 20);

// Print all processes running on system
var processes = robot.Process.getList();
for (var i = 0; i < processes.length; ++i)
	console.log (processes[i].getName());

Just wanted to comment at how awesome this is. If I wasn't so lazy to maintain reversing WoW and was still playing, I would totally use this

Hey, I guess there is no tsd for use with typescript, right?

Hey, I guess there is no tsd for use with typescript, right?

No, sorry. But then again, I didn't realize people were using typescript to write Node.js applications. Maybe that's something I can look into for the future.

This looks freaking awesome as i love node, didn't really looked into it yet, but can i inject asm with this ?

Awesome work man !

[Torpedoes]

Can i inject asm with this?

Not yet. There are a few features that are missing, but I intend to implement them all. I just need to take a break from this project to focus on Yeti-Bots.

That being said, you can write some really cool apps with this, I myself wrote a fully automated rotation bot using pure javascript and it's working great!

Nice, reading auras from memory?

Nice, reading auras from memory ?

Yep. Along with CD's and other useful information. Though you can probably write the rotation in Lua and just press the buttons with node via pixel reading or smth.
