I used to use AHK a lot for interacting with a game. Sikuli seemed neat when I heard about it, but it turns out that it only supports pretty much a single method of capture and only a single method of relaying mouse events. This made it completely unusable for that purpose. AHK supports pretty much every method available to Windows. The simplicity of use was attractive, but it needs a ton of work under the hood before it'd be viable as a general purpose automation tool.
- bcaine 12y agoI also experimented with it a few years ago trying to build an automated GUI testing framework, and it turns out that its way too fragile and non-portable to be usable for that use case. I remember running into issues as soon as anything changed regarding resolution, scaling, graphic settings, color scheme etc. Pretty fun to make toy programs in to automate stuff with though.
