Ahh, I am going to sidestep the whole ethical part of the = question and suggest you look at specific the bots for specific games and s= ee how they do it.=A0

The two most popular ones th= at come to mind is:=A0http://www.openkore.com/index.php/Main_Page=A0and MMO Glider.=A0

Most bots, I would say, fall into two categ= ories. The first bypasses the interface directly and directly communicates = with the server via packets. Kore does this and is one of the most advance = direct packet injection bots I can think of. On the other hand is what you = had in mind with manipulating the actual game client with a program. This i= s what MMO glider does. It also does a bunch of packet sniffing to figure o= ut what the actual game state is.=A0

Hopefully that gives a bit of background to= everybody else at least. I can't think of a specific library, but I kn= ow=A0capybara=A0does similiated key presses as part = of its testing=A0environment. For mouse stuff, I found this:=A0https://github.com/erin= ata/auto_click

You might also want to look at AutoIt which a great many simple bots ar= e written.=A0

PS: you might want to se= arch for 'automation' as that is really what you are trying to do.= =A0

I want to make a bot to play a game for me, = I rarely play the game but
it requires a huge amount of repetition, so I'd like to make a bot in Ruby to do it.

I keep researching it and it seems most people are concerned with web
programming of IRC.

I just want the ruby script to keep pressing keys for me and moving the
mouse so that the game can be played on another computer while I do my
studies.
