Actually for a stupid flash game on facebook I was searching for a way to script mouse-movement and clicks on linus/X.org.

Happily, I found a tool that does exactly what I wanted:
It’s called “X Do Tool” or short xdotool . A simple make did it for me and I had my script ready.

First I tried to do clicking by

./xdotool mousedown 1 ; ./xdotool mouseup 1

( 1 is left, 2 middle, 3 right mouse button, according to your xorg.conf ), but then I found that a simple ./xdotool click 1 would also do it;

So for “cheating” at this stupid “who can click the most times in 30 seconds” game on facebook, simply open a console next to your browser, type

while true; do xdotool click 1; done

and depending on the speed of your x-server you get far more than 1000 clicks / 30 seconds. sadly they have some manipulation detection or something like that so you would have to add some “sleep xx” calls to your loop

I’ve stopped playing around this while having reached around 480 clicks, being placed second after an aquaintance of mine.

Happy “cheating”
