Anyone ever heard of autohotkey? - CreepyTacoMan - 11-13-2014

I've mentioned it to a few of you, but I figured I'd post here because not enough people know about it...Basically, you can run scripts on your desktop that do things like clicking, testing for the color of pixels, or any other commands here: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands.htm. It appears to be in it's own language, but I picked it up pretty easily even though I had only the slightest experience with LUA. It's just a simple installer that adds a program which allows you to save any text files from any text editor to .ahk format. Then you can run that file as if it were an exe, and access it's status in your programs bar in the bottom right of your screen. It has a very complete wiki that has anything you could need, plus very active forums.
One of the things I've made with it is a script for minecraft that uses pixelgetcolor to remove all items from a chest by testing for slots that aren't the color of the background. If they aren't, then it shift clicks the slot. I can clear an entire single chest in about 3 seconds. I've used this for survival games on a few servers and It's really useful. What uses could you guys think of?

Cool! I might look in to this to help with my deobfuscation project.
