Reminded me of the SCAR tool many of us used to use back in the day for botting on Runescape. Will have to look into this for QA automation, as Selenium isn't always too fun when you've got a hairball of ASP.NET WebForms, Vanilla JS, and Angular for a code base.

Surprised to see SCAR mentioned. I have some connection to it ;) I still use it now and then to automate some flash games. Helps me to relax.

Wow, it really is a small world, I can't believe you replied to my comment. You're one of the only aliases I still recognize from those days as I was about 12 at the time. SCAR and the other scriptable clients were a huge spark for my interest in programming as a kid. Seeing something that could automate actions in a game I played all day blew my mind and I had to learn how it worked. Cheers to you for that!
