[CentralOH] Screen Scraping Presentation

[Thomas Winningham]

I would check out Sikuli for that, very interesting Jython thing where you
put little clips of the screen as parameters to functions.

But couldn't they eventually tell by the too precise timing? Then maybe you
could come up with a bunch of fake human things like triple thinking,
making occasional dumb mistakes, maybe record your nervous mouse habits and
replay them... hrmm!  I'm too busy gambling with my career and
inter-personal relationships which is enough money down the drain as it is
:P Could be fun to play with!! What about short of full automation some
kind of tooling to let you play like hundreds of hands simultaneously
somehow better? Or some such assistance that is still technically not a
robot?
