Auto Eatventure: Unity Game Automation Engine
Built first-of-its-kind Unity game automation engine using computer vision and ADB, achieving 95%+ accuracy in element detection and full gameplay automation.
Impact & Results
The Problem
Unity-based mobile games cannot be automated using traditional app automation tools (Appium, Selenium) because Unity renders UI elements as machine bytecode rather than native Android elements. Existing automation solutions require game source code access, making them impractical for third-party game automation. Manual gameplay of incremental games becomes extremely repetitive and time-consuming.
The Solution
Developed innovative computer vision-based automation engine using OpenCV for template matching and ADB for device interaction. Created sophisticated image processing pipeline that captures screenshots, performs object detection using template matching, calculates element positions, and executes precise touch events. Built 3-tier automation system: basic element targeting, intelligent UI navigation with sliding events, and advanced level progression with boost optimization.
The Results
Successfully achieved full game automation with 95%+ element detection accuracy. Completed 2-3 weeks of manual gameplay in automated sessions. Demonstrated breakthrough approach for Unity game automation without source code access. Created reusable framework applicable to other Unity-based mobile games. Generated community interest with 14 GitHub stars and active contributions from developers facing similar automation challenges.
Technical Challenges
Overcoming Unity's bytecode rendering that hides UI elements from traditional automation tools. Developing robust template matching algorithms that work across different screen resolutions and game states. Handling timing synchronization between screenshot capture, image processing, and touch events. Creating adaptive element detection that accounts for dynamic game UI changes. Optimizing performance to minimize automation delays while maintaining accuracy.
