Sikuli Script Demo (Automatically setting IP on Mac OS X)

[adlsfreund]

you have a very delightful voice O.o :)

[funkhop]

sounds like backup any setting action.

[DGalizzi]

This is awesome, really, very good job! I will definitely check on this.

[LEGO0018]

我看到中文了

[21EC]

is it possible to make a game using this sikuli visual scripting?

[hanfiking]

Instead of "type()" I would use "paste( )", "type("\t")" this would improve performance

[crashxxx]

:))) this look very complicated, in meaning its to much job to do and + it's slow, very slow. Program need to do pixel recognition or whatever for that matter must be slow. You aiming to replace ubot and Imacro, sorry to tell you this but you are just outclass by both. Incredibly outclass. Alto both of those programs can't operate on application YET, they kick ass on web, which matters. Since you are obviously good with picture recognition why not making some capcha recognition bot, much better

[Fevernew]

Damn, you ruined the whole presentation with this *supposedly* Korean/Chinese whatever woman speaking.....

[EvilSiper]

remember guys, this was just an example with what you could do with this... there is many other things you could do... :D its just soooo easy

[ShadowwwLFS]

Oh, so it's Java? No wonder it is so slow. :D

[LookAtMyTube]

Incomprehensible.

Where did you find her? At a Calcuttan call center?

Find someone who's fluent in spoken, unaccented English.

Simply look outside of stinking-student Cambridge, MA and avoid anyone with a thick Boston accent .

[freezombie]

@LookAtMyTube there is no such thing as accentless English.

[Darkray16]

@LookAtMyTube I understood her fine, it's your problem.

[imnathan252l]

i cant take screen shots the screen wont darken plz help

[zyrgzyrg]

Nice

[puseze]

[lowtone10]

having problems getting menus to work under linux/gnome/ubuntu

[adriannaholdrenscs]

wouldnt it be easier to record a macro using winautomation or similar software?

that would've taken 1 min max

[taylornate2]

@adriannaholdrenscs winautomation costs $130...

[Lvn369]

very nice idea.

The combination with MT would be nice. It adds another dimension...instead of programming (cod +screenshot caption) .. it can perhaps learn the same thing by just using gestures (making ellipse gesture around what u gonna choose =which region to remember + click) . Not needed to program click all the time. It would be only usefull to restructure things after the whole process. It would make it somewhat faster.

[shishi4yt]

awesome

[P00P0STER0US]

I've wanted a program like this for a while, and this is perfect! If it uses structures like "if" meaning if you see this or if you see that or only if you see this AND that...wow.

[P00P0STER0US]

Love it! Wow!

[ErMejo74]

Interesting idea. Seems to work fine.

But WHY WHY WHY ruin the demo with this VOICE. It sounds like an old scifi robot talking through a pipe.

[P00P0STER0US]

Uh, maybe she's one of the developers? Sounds just fine to me.

[bikutorusan]

@ErMejo74 And the accent!

"CLICKING THE RUMP BUTTON" (6:00)

[aikaha]

I have been using AutoIt on Windows machines but this seems much more intuitive. I'm sold.

[dgg32]

Intuitive programming, trade-off is its speed. Can't all those mouse moving be skipped so that it may be faster?

[energioz]

it is a very usefull thing but it depend on screenshot aspects and i can use it only for my own computer, so how i can share scripts?

[Jaeboy]

Is she iranian?

[Play2Music]

Wow, this is impressive, we all know how boring is to do all this by cmd, or even in C. This may be slow, but hey! not everyday you get the things done just by taking screenshots =).

Play2Music

[houou100]

Absolutely awesome.

I'm sure you could have chosen a better narrator though.

[etta777]

ATMTA

[etta777]

Хотя, с другой стороны, не бесполезная фигня.

[yalewhd]

it's a little bit too slow

[LunaticAAC]

"бантики" для "хомячков"

[ZZZSochi]

Да уж... Весело...

Но для некоторых вещей удобно. А то я как-то писал скриптовый язык для того, чтобы некотовые проги ставились автоматом... Не очень приятно.

[voyowee]

it's a neat way to improve Automator, but it's so SLOW. Is there no way to speed up the steps when it executes?

[SelectiveApathy]

Wow,

going to try it now.

[synack]

This is amazing.

[cumulus0007]

Why all this work instead of a simple

ifconfig eth0 123.456.7.8.

[eatbetter]

@cumulus0007 cuz XXX.456.XXX.XXX is an invalid IPv4 address

[kukovrein]

@cumulus0007 exactly, this is an abomination, why not just learn a real programming language and do a system call that will do the same IN THE BACKGROUND???. mac people are so retarded jesus crist.

[cumulus0007]

Programming for lazy people. Just like Vissual Basic.

[asdfgzxcvbn]

amazing.but it is just a little bit much too slow.

[aegars]

im getting error every time i try to run script java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError­: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError­: C:\Program Files\Sikuli\tmplib\VDictProxy­.dll: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem

i have java6 installed

[Kimfatt]

this is look like something match the quickmacro

[BlogRefinancing]

How to use in Windows? I've tried switchApp("firefox.exe") but it does not run FF whereas running firefox.exe from Run runs it fine, is switchApp not the correct process for Windows? I cannot seem to find any documentation on processes?

[SJGster]

@BlogRefinancing According to the documentation, Firefox should already be running, and you use the text in the title bar, rather than firefox.exe .

[CowardsBendTheKnee]

this seems wicked, for a non-programmer like me that would like to automate several boring tasks i have to do. thanks!

The website seems down at the moment, though...

[ashconnor]

I could I use this to create a bot that would play blackjack for me? Even if the Casino client is in flash?

[0verk0rd]

@ashconnor Probably, but blackjack input isn't the same step-by step process as network configuration. You'd have to create your own dynamic blackjack AI as well ;)

[xNAgff]

This seems much more fragile than just using the command line.

[kukovrein]

@xNAgff dont mention that you can execute a command thought a real programming language like C/C++, or even use a system library to do it more cleanly.

[nat4200]

VBA "programmers" of Office addins have been known to send keystrokes of shortcuts to apps when they couldn't figure out the API but both approaches seem to rely on a simplified subset of the interaction - as such I wonder how this would handle an unexpected error dialog being presented / or a user trying to do something else at the same time as the script is running

[yourliang]

不实用，如果电脑里有相同的图标怎么办？

[businessman97]

圖下的字也包了阿

[fufueater]

if a company wants help their customer to make auto fill app for their client this can make it difficult when people have different themes on their computer, depends how Sikuli was written but i don't think its written in that way yet. So they would have detect theme first then say "please switch to your default theme in order for us to help you" something like that

[paxcoder]

This is an amazing idea (GUI scripting), but I'm worried it's ultra slow. I suggest a speed improvement (though you've probably implemented it already): start the search from the last known position of the "click" object, relative to the foreground window, and then search in a pattern of a spiral from that point outwards.

[n0nzer0]

There are modifiers you can string onto the commands so you can search just to the right, within, or below regions.

[olborer]

why so slow?

[LordOfDragonMasters]

i guess it tries pixel per pixel until find something like we want....idk...

[cyberixae]

How is this programming?

[wtkao]

vgod 是台灣之光 ^.^

[gzycrosslife]

速度有点慢，图形识别占的时间吧。

占资源多吗？好像没说。这个就是个更高级的宏吧。

[e633xx]

Not fast by any means but cool as hell!!!!!!

[oObsi]

definitely interesting but what i dont like about it that it locks down your interaction while the script runs..

okay its "kinda fast" but for me script and automations should run in the background and free the time for me to do other things.

anyhow this is definitely a cool and intuitive way to get more people into programming.

[narcoti]

How did she get into mit, obviously they don't teach grammar either...

[pahhoehoe122]

You should translate this video into your second language. We'll all be judging you. :-)

[narcoti]

hmm I thought macro's did this already....

[Lohkay]

Is it only me or was it very very slow? Up to the type in part, I could've done it faster by hand.

[quakefiend]

wow.

[xiaomutaku]

Plans for linux/freebsd/etc releases?

[mesterha]

It's based on Jython so it should work anywhere Java runs.

[xiaomutaku]

Yes, I saw on the video description 'OS X and windows' but have since visited the site and have downloaded the Linux version to test. Seems to have trouble with the screen interactions though in KDE 3+.

[Arancaytar]

This is great progress!

In another ten years or so, we will be teaching chimpanzees how to program. :-D

[hadlock]

How do you resolve a situation where there might be one or more OK/SAVE/CANCEL buttons in the background?

[IICVX]

I would assume that the Sikuli engine gets around that in one of three ways:

1. It could only consider the current active window (e.g, if you started typing, the window your characters would appear in).

2. It could give priority to areas of the screen that have been recently updated.

3. The first thing she did was tell Sikuli to open up System Preferences - it could take that as a signal to only consider the System Preferences window and its children.

[samtz1223]

cool...just curious. can i compile sikuli script become a regular application? what i need is to pack sikuli script as a standalone binary. thanks

[vgodtw]

We don't have a compiler yet, but a command line interpreter is available on the website.
