robotgo VS robotjs

Then there’s e.g. https://github.com/go-vgo/robotgo but I haven’t tried that yet, I only know it exists. Judging from the C source code it’s also based off robotjs

I'm trying to use robotgo to automate some work in another GUI program, but I'm finding the documentation to be a bit light and the examples to be not quite illuminating. Are there any example projects out there using this library that I could reference to learn more?

Link to the Readme: https://github.com/go-vgo/robotgo

So, I'm looking for other tools that let me do the same thing in literally any other programming language. I'd rather use the opportunity to learn GoLang (RobotGo) than learn AutoHotKey.

If we talk about the first approach, the following approaches will be useful: Nodejs Child Process: write to stdin from an already initialised process, RobotJS. It makes sense to note here that the approaches above are rather for e2e testing than integration.

If you want to interact with the OS, and move the mouse, you'll likely want to write JS that targets the NodeJS platform. With a quick google search I found RobotJS which you can use with Node to automate the mouse (amongst other things). If it's a browser you want to automate, look into selenium-webdriver.

Then there’s obviously https://github.com/robot/robot-js and https://github.com/octalmage/robotjs, but both of these frameworks are abandoned.

That said, you're in luck as I can give you a specific use case from the library I'm working on. It's a desktop automation library (something like RobotJS or Nut.js). I won't use the exact code, but a simplified version as an example.

So what u need to do is go to a mercs bounty and afk inside it for 29 mins, then finish the fight by beating it and repeat. U will get more than 400 xp per hour with 20% boost (i think around 430? smth like that). If u go over 30 mins in the fight, u will get 0 xp so don't. Put the script on a loop and leave ur pc overnight, set hs fps to like 5 or smth from the config file (targetframerate), so ur pc uses little resources (the more gpu/cpu used the more wattage the higher the electricity bill, tho obviously it's still very worth it but the less the bill is the better). Level 100 to 400 is 300 * 1500 xp = 450 000 xp. With 10 hrs of ur pc working during the night, that is let's say 4100 xp per day, so it will take u 110 days to get from level 100 to 400. If u have work, leaving the pc on for let's say 16 hours a day (8 while u sleep and 8 while u work) will get u 7560 xp per day, getting u from 100 to level 400 in just 60 days (2 months). Make sure ur cpu gpu etc. are put on power-saving mode and turn off ur monitor (preferably even disconnect it from the power cable). Now for the script u wanna use, based on this https://thenewstack.io/which-programming-languages-use-the-least-electricity/ the best one would be C, personally i use Javascript because it's what i know and it's very easy to write and it's still 4.45 which is not that far from 1, considering it's just very simple mouse movement and a for loop and not some complex algorithm problems like in the article, it won't make much of a difference anyway, tho it might if u use python since 75.88 is a lot. So to do it with JS, u can use Node js with Robot js https://github.com/octalmage/robotjs

Autohotkey is also a scripting language. If you want parity there, there's robotJS, pynput, and xdotool (though this one won't work on some future version of mint when a piece of tech it relies on gets upgraded).

I use the Johnny-Five JS library to connect to the board http://johnny-five.io/ and use RobotJS https://www.npmjs.com/package/robotjs to map the buttons on the board to keyboard buttons. Currently I just have it set up to map to audio buttons so I can prev/next/pause/play Spotify/Youtube or turn the OS volume up.
