Readme for robot-1.0.1.1

[back to package description]

The Haskell Robot

Robot is a library for sending fake keyboard and mouse events using Haskell. Applications will respond as though the user performed the actions themselves.

Only X11 systems are supported right now, but Windows and Mac can be added later if anyone cares.

Here are some things you can do:

Test graphical interfaces and websites!
Play silly pranks on your friends!
Finally beat those silly Flash games where you press the same button over and over again really fast. I don't like those.

Quick start

First, download and install the library:

git clone https://github.com/lfairy/robot.git
cd robot
cabal install

Now try running some of the programs in the examples directory.
