Documentation

• on GithubPages
• Example

General

• Some windows don't take input the way this is programmed (new Windows "Apps", Explorer etc.)
• Some windows might not generate any image while minimized:
  • move them to a second desktop in windows ⊞ Win + Tab
  • keep them "open" there
• If there are only black squares as pictures try a different layer variable for checkWindowNames
• This is (not yet) tested on a bigger scale:
  • definitely not full functionality for controls
  • might have bugs
  • performance might not be optimal

Dependencies

• pip install numpy opencv-python Pillow pywin32
• hope nothing is missing

Usage

• git submodule add -b master https://github.com/Alpel99/botpapy
• git submodule init
• update: git submodule update --remote
