MAA TaskBar Hero is an automation bot for a Steam game called TaskBarHero. It watches the game screen by taking screenshots, compares what it sees against stored image templates, and then performs mouse and keyboard actions to play the game automatically. The focus is on farming, which in this context means repeating the same in-game routes over and over to collect resources. The bot handles several steps in the farming loop: selecting a difficulty level, chapter, and stage, verifying that the correct route was actually selected, detecting when a boss enemy appears, spotting treasure chest drops, and giving priority to blue chest rewards. Once a loop finishes, the bot starts again from the beginning and continues until you stop it. The project is clear about what the bot does and does not do. It only works through visual recognition and simulated mouse and keyboard input, the same actions a person would take manually. It does not read the game's internal memory, modify any game files, intercept network traffic, or inject code into the running process. This approach limits the risk of triggering anti-cheat systems compared to more invasive automation methods. Setup requires keeping the game at 1x or 100% zoom. The template matching that drives recognition depends on the game UI appearing at the expected pixel size, and higher zoom levels will cause the bot to fail. The README also notes that the game's UI language affects compatibility because the templates are visual images, so if the game shows different text or icons, the template files inside the templates folder may need to be replaced. Two downloadable GUI packages are provided, one in Chinese and one in English, though the underlying automation logic is the same in both. A debug export option lets you capture logs and screenshots if something goes wrong.
