Oh yeah that works so incredibly well! I get addicted to idle/tap/infinite progression types of games every now and then.

At one point I got sick of it and I wrote a program that taps my phone with an axidraw robot. Seeing the progression happen without my own input totally broke the addictive cycle for me.

And I got to play with the axidraw :D

I'm sure you know there are other ways. Android phone emulator on a PC and scripting the mouse is one of the easiest. However I'm incredibly impressed that you used a software/hardware solution.

Thank you for mentioning the hardware, I looked it up and it looks affordable and interesting. https://www.axidraw.com/
