This is a collection of functions I created for AHK and Python with the purpose of automating different aspects of the game NGU-IDLE. This project first started because the built-in functions ControlClick/ControlSend in AHK did not work with the game, because of how Unity handles input. I first created replacements for these functions in AHK, but later moved over to Python because there was little reason to use AHK when the input was being sent directly via the Windows API.

These functions will send input to the game without using your keyboard or mouse, and they don't require the window to be active. The supplied functions found in AHK or functions.py can help you create your own scripts to run. You can also see my implementations in the main.py file for inspiration of what you can do. This file changes as I progress myself and should only be used as a base for your own creations, check the blame as well for even further inspiration!

If you're automating the game using these or any other scripts, please consider disabling the high score submissions in the game settings.

The AHK script is unsupported and deleted, but I kept the functions here because they will work well in any Unity based browser game, where AHK's builtins fall short.

• Windows 7 or later (NT >=6.1)
• Python 3 (only tested on 3.7)
• Tesseract OCR
• Firefox Browser

Install Python dependencies using pip:

pip -r install requirements.txt

Install Tesseract and add it to your PATH variable.

Change the settings in usersettings_example.py and rename it to usersettings.py

If you're using Firefox as your main browser, you will notice that the script will steal focus each time it performs an action. To solve this you can create a specific profile that only runs the game.

1. In firefox enter about:profiles in the address field.
2. Create a new profile and name it (NGU, for example)
3. Go to your firefox installation folder, right click the firefox.exe file and select create shortcut.
4. Right click the shortcut and select properties.
5. In the target field, enter -P YOURPROFILENAME -no-remote after the quotation mark. It should look like this: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P NGU -no-remote
6. Start firefox via the shortcut and load your NGU save.
