Title: Looking for Python Developer for Game Automation Project on macOS Hey everyone! I'm working on a fun personal project and need some help from a talented Python developer. If you enjoy game automation, computer vision, and creating clever bots, this might be perfect for you! About the project: I'm building a firemaking automation script for an online game (similar to OSRS mechanics) that runs on macOS. The bot needs to handle: - Banking interactions (finding banker, opening interface) - Withdrawing logs - Walking to firemaking spots - Lighting fires - Managing inventory I have plenty of screenshots and reference images to work from, so you won't be starting from scratch! What I'm looking for: I need someone who's: - Really comfortable with Python on macOS (not just Windows/Linux) - Has experience with OpenCV or similar computer vision libraries - Has built game bots/automation scripts before - Understands how to make mouse movements and clicks look human (not robotic!) - Knows their way around Git Bonus points if you: - Have a background in ML or computer vision - Have experience with OSRS or similar games - Know macOS UI automation inside and out - Have thought about anti-detection techniques for bots How we'll work: This is a milestone-based project with 4 clear phases over about a month. I'm open to fast, agile development and I'm totally fine with you using AI assistants like Claude or Windsurf to speed things up (I use them too!). Milestones & Budget: 1. Week 1: Screen Capture & Basic Detection - $100 - Set up screen capturing for macOS - Detect the banker character with 95% accuracy - Create basic human-like mouse movement system 2. Week 2: Full Firemaking Cycle - $150 - Complete bank interaction sequence - Detect and withdraw logs - Implement fire lighting - Handle inventory management 3. Week 3: Robustness & Anti-Detection - $150 - Add random delays and human-like patterns - Build error recovery system - Enhance detection with ML techniques - Add logging and monitoring 4. Week 4: Polish & Optimization - $100 - Performance optimization - Configuration system - Documentation - Testing suite Total: $500 (paid per milestone as we complete them) What you should include in your proposal: 1. Your experience with Python and macOS development 2. Any game automation/bot projects you've worked on (feel free to describe without sharing code if it's private) 3. Your experience with OpenCV or computer vision 4. Your availability over the next month A little about me: I'm a developer who enjoys gaming and automation projects. I'm laid back, communicate clearly, and pay promptly when milestones are met. I believe in working smart - if AI tools help you work faster or better, go for it! Timeline: I'd like to get started within the next week and wrap up the full project in about a month, working through each milestone week-by-week. If this sounds like your kind of project and you're available for the timeline, I'd love to see your proposal! Feel free to ask any questions before applying. *PS: If you've made a bot for a game before (even a simple one), tell me about it! I love hearing about clever automation solutions.
