• (easy-to-regenerate) Mannual record has to be perfect in one run, you also need to make sure it covers different situations and responses
• (scale-up need) New functionalities frequently added

Install

No specific package install required. All library used in this code is python standard.

Usage

You can use the DailyTask_v3.json directly (by importing it into your marco manager.)

OR:

1. Clone this repo (make sure you have git in your terminal)

git clone https://github.com/tobyatgithub/GxB_BlueStack_automation.git
cd GxB_BlueStack_automation

2. Generate the json marco script

python jsonGenerator.py

3. The default result will be called data.json in the same folder. You can import this script directly as a marco in BlueStacks: -> open marco manager -> import -> select this json file

Parameters

Right now the script is set to run every 4 hours (the whole script shall take about 4-5 mins).
Each time, it will open the game, do all the collects, and close the game.
TODO: more about the detailed parameters and how to change it.
