Much like many others, I\u2019ve started playing Among Us with my friends. We\u2019ve really enjoyed accusing each other and it has been fun convincing my friends that I\u2019m not the imposter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What had been bothering me, though, was always having to do the same tasks. Especially the card swiping, which takes such a long time to do in order to get the timing right. This has been the cause of me being accused of faking it, as it sometimes takes me a ridiculously long time to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, I gave myself a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How many of the tasks in Among Us can I automate?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The answer can be found at the end of this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting started with Python<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I started with Python with the pyautogui<\/a>, pyscreeze,<\/a> keyboard<\/a> and pygetwindow<\/a> libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be able to move around and resize the window without messing with the position of the simulated mouse clicks, I first developed a system as a wrapper around pyautogui, where I can send the relative position inside the Among Us Window and it will automatically calculate the pixel position based on the window position and size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This ensures that, even if I move or resize the window, the mouse can click at the same position with the same code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is an example to showcase this with the mouse click code wrapper:<\/p>\n\n\n
\ndef click(self, x, y, duration=0.1):\n pyautogui.click(\n (x * self.amongus.width) + self.amongus.left,\n (y * self.amongus.height) + self.amongus.top,\n duration=duration\n )\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nBy multiplying the relative x coordinate with the width and adding the left offset of the window, I get the absolute pixel coordinate for the x axis and the same can be done on the y axis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comparing the colors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Next, I had to write code to get the color at the relative position and check it against a provided color with some tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n
\ndef getColor(self, x, y):\n im = pyscreeze.screenshot()\n return im.getpixel((\n int((x * self.amongus.width) + self.amongus.left),\n int((y * self.amongus.height) + self.amongus.top))\n )\n\ndef checkColor(self, x, y, color, tolerance=15):\n return self.tolerance(color, self.getColor(x, y), tolerance=tolerance)\n\ndef tolerance(self, color, scolor, tolerance=15):\n r, g, b = color[:3]\n exR, exG, exB = scolor\n return (abs(r - exR) <= tolerance) and (abs(g - exG) <= tolerance) and (abs(b - exB) <= tolerance)\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nWith this helper done, I created a loop that checks whether I have control and alt pressed. If so, it runs the following code which displays the relative x and y coordinate and the color at that coordinate:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nif keyboard.is_pressed("ctrl") and keyboard.is_pressed("alt"):\n try:\n point = self.position()\n im = pyscreeze.screenshot()\n print(point)\n print(im.getpixel((pyautogui.position().x, pyautogui.position().y)))\n except IndexError:\n print()\n pyautogui.sleep(2)\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nThis is a helper function so I can find the points and colors to trigger a task automatically. This means the task can be run without me doing anything other than opening the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Card swipe task<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
With this, I started with the card swipe task, because it annoyed me the most.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nif self.checkColor(x=0.7019628099173554, y=0.31724754244861486, color=(0, 99, 71)) and \\\n self.checkColor(x=0.6797520661157025, y=0.8543342269883825, color=(71, 147, 52)) and \\\n self.checkColor(x=0.5981404958677686, y=0.8945487042001787, color=(233, 121, 52)):\n print("Card")\n self.moveTo(x=0.428202479338843, y=0.7444146559428061, duration=0.3)\n self.click(x=0.428202479338843, y=0.7444146559428061)\n self.moveTo(x=0.3114669421487603, y=0.42359249329758714, duration=0.3)\n self.dragTo(x=0.7902892561983471, y=0.46291331546023234, duration=0.6)\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nWhile in my loop, I check for the above condition, which, if they are true, means the card swipe is open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, I can move the mouse to the card, click there and move the card along the swiping area at the right speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
