This reminds me of how I started "programming", making bots for online text-based mmorpgs with AutoIt V3 (http://www.autoitscript.com/ http://www.autoitscript.com/), automating IE. That was a great introduction to programming for me, very simple language with useful functions and great help files. Since I switched to using Linux, I've been trying to find a Linux equivalent. Of course, a general programming language with an http library could be used to do what I was initially doing with AutoIt, but it's kind of fun to see windows being manipulated and the mouse moving, keyboard text being sent out, like a ghost user. AutoPy gives me an excuse to learn python too. Totally sweet.
