Pottermore Spell caster

This project is deprecated because Pottermore removed all their game like features :(

In pottermore there was a spell casting minigame thast required a coordinated keyboard presses to cast a certain spell correctly, i thought of a way to automate the keyboard presses so i get consistely accurate spell casts.

I have implemented 3 spells (Locomotor Wibbly, Mimble Wimble, Petrificus Totalus).

The script is written in python and uses uinput to simulate keyboard presses.

Note: This is inspired by: http://www.hashbangcode.com/blog/using-python-beat-2012-olympic-google-doodles-669.html

Known issues

• I suspect that the timing will require some tuning for other comupters, but i never tried it.
• I wasn't able to get the accuracy above 143, and sometimes it misses up so the accuracy is between 139 -143 and on most cases it scores 142.
• There is no cli interface, i have to manually comment/uncomment the required spell before running the spell caster.

Using it

• You need to comment\uncomment the spell you wanna use.
• Run the script sudo python spellcaster.py, It will count 3 seconds then fire up. That gives you time to select the pottermore window and keep it on focus.
• The script needs root access to run, because it has to simulate a keyboard.
