Python Game Automation Project (macOS)

Title: Looking for Python Developer for Game Automation Project on macOS

Hey everyone!

I'm working on a fun personal project and need some help from a talented Python developer. If you enjoy game automation, computer vision, and creating clever bots, this might be perfect for you!

About the project:
I'm building a firemaking automation script for an online game (similar to OSRS mechanics) that runs on macOS. The bot needs to handle:
- Banking interactions (finding banker, opening interface)
- Withdrawing logs
- Walking to firemaking spots
- Lighting fires
- Managing inventory

I have plenty of screenshots and reference images to work from, so you won't be starting from scratch!

What I'm looking for:
I need someone who's:
- Really comfortable with Python on macOS (not just Windows/Linux)
- Has experience with OpenCV or similar computer vision libraries
- Has built game bots/automation scripts before
- Understands how to make mouse movements and clicks look human (not robotic!)
- Knows their way around Git

Bonus points if you:
- Have a background in ML or computer vision
- Have experience with OSRS or similar games
- Know macOS UI automation inside and out
- Have thought about anti-detection techniques for bots

How we'll work:
This is a milestone-based project with 4 clear phases over about a month. I'm open to fast, agile development and I'm totally fine with you using AI assistants like Claude or Windsurf to speed things up (I use them too!).

Milestones & Budget:
1. Week 1: Screen Capture & Basic Detection - $100
- Set up screen capturing for macOS
- Detect the banker character with 95% accuracy
- Create basic human-like mouse movement system

2. Week 2: Full Firemaking Cycle - $150
- Complete bank interaction sequence
- Detect and withdraw logs
- Implement fire lighting
- Handle inventory management

3. Week 3: Robustness & Anti-Detection - $150
- Add random delays and human-like patterns
- Build error recovery system
- Enhance detection with ML techniques
- Add logging and monitoring

4. Week 4: Polish & Optimization - $100
- Performance optimization
- Configuration system
- Documentation
- Testing suite

Total: $500 (paid per milestone as we complete them)

What you should include in your proposal:
1. Your experience with Python and macOS development
2. Any game automation/bot projects you've worked on (feel free to describe without sharing code if it's private)
3. Your experience with OpenCV or computer vision
4. Your availability over the next month

A little about me:
I'm a developer who enjoys gaming and automation projects. I'm laid back, communicate clearly, and pay promptly when milestones are met. I believe in working smart - if AI tools help you work faster or better, go for it!

Timeline:
I'd like to get started within the next week and wrap up the full project in about a month, working through each milestone week-by-week.

If this sounds like your kind of project and you're available for the timeline, I'd love to see your proposal! Feel free to ask any questions before applying.

*PS: If you've made a bot for a game before (even a simple one), tell me about it! I love hearing about clever automation solutions.
