General Philosophy

Most of the existing ATITD Automato macros and the macroing interface are all built around a few primary goals:

• No keyboard interaction. While a macro is running, the user should be able to freely chat with their friends, navigate between guild tabs, etc.
• Image recognition over offsets. Where possible, read and scrape the screen to find the exact image we want to click on instead of hardcoding pixel offsets that might change based on resolution or other factors. The downside of this is that it is more susceptible to minor changes in ATITD causing the macros to work.
• Status and prompts. Friendly prompts about what values are desired are easy to add, and much better than telling someone to edit the script to handle the values they desire.
