Controlling mouse movement with python inside a game
Controlling mouse movement with python inside a game
I want to learn some reinforcement-learning concepts by letting my agent play a video game. In order to do so, I would like to control the mouse movement inside the game.
I've been fiddling with win32api, using win32api.SetCursorPos((x,y))to move the mouse. While this works perfectly on my desktop, I can't find a way to translate the movement inside the game.
win32api.SetCursorPos((x,y))
I have also tried using pyautogui with no luck either.
Any suggestions on how to solve this?

from pynput.mouse import Controller, Button
def clickAt(Mouse, x, y):
Mouse.position = (x, y)
Mouse.press(Button.right)
Mouse.release(Button.right)
Mouse = Controller()
clickAt(Mouse,100,100)
This is how you do it with pynput
Put the game in windowed mode rather than full screen.

I did, but once I click on the game window the mouse "disappears". It recognizes mouse clicks but not the movement

That's a different question all together, you need to figure out what library/how the game itself is handling input and then find a way to simulate so that it behaves as you want.
