Sikuli's Official BlogExamples and Tutorials of Sikuli | Share your scripts to the world!

Sikuli is fun! Today’s showcase script is contributed by Garrett Bartley. He uses Sikuli to write a script to play Mafia Wars online. The script automates a simple yet important task in Mafia Wars: upgrading the casino!!

To display data, Sikuli currently supports only popup messages and debug messages, which can be very limiting. Garrett uses a very clever trick to get around this limitation. He uses Sikuli to open up another text editor and type the data in the editor to display.

It may not be clear to many Sikuli users that under the hood of Sikuli, there is a Java virtual machine providing a rich set of UI components such as tables and lists that can be called upon to display data. In the future release of Sikuli, we plan to introduce simple API calls to uses these components for output, while hiding the complexity of Java programming. Please stay tuned!
