# 🍪 Cookie Clicker Bot
A Selenium bot that plays [Cookie Clicker][game] for you: it clicks the big cookie, buys the most expensive upgrade it can afford every 5 seconds and prints the cookies per second after 5 minutes. It is the solution to day 48 of Udemy's *100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp*, written for course participants who want to compare solutions and for visitors who browse for ideas.

## 🧭 Overview
The bot follows the five steps of the lecture:
1. Get to know the game.
2. Click the cookie as fast as possible, after dismissing the language selection.
3. Every 5 seconds buy the most expensive upgrade you can afford.
4. After 5 minutes stop and print `cookies/second`.
5. Tweak the strategy (check interval, buy one or buy all affordable).
### The five steps in pictures
| Step | Screenshot |
| --- | --- |
| 1. Get to know the game | ![Step 1: the game after the language was chosen](docs/images/step-1.png) |
| 2. Click the cookie | ![Step 2: after 15 seconds of clicking](docs/images/step-2.png) |
| 3. Buy the most expensive affordable upgrade | ![Step 3: after 45 seconds of clicking and buying](docs/images/step-3.png) |
| 4. Stop after 5 minutes, print cookies/second | ![Step 4: after the 5 minute run, 18.9 per second](docs/images/step-4.png) |
| 5. Tweak the strategy | ![Step 5: the best run, checking every 10 seconds](docs/images/step-5.png) |
What each step taught is explained in the [wiki][documentation], in English, Danish and Bahasa Malaysia (the same pages are in `docs/wiki/`).
The repository is organised like this:
| Folder or file | What it is for |
| --- | --- |
| `src/cookie_clicker_bot/` | The bot. `domain/` holds the rules (parsing, choosing the upgrade) with no Selenium, `application/` runs the game loop, `infrastructure/` drives the browser, `constants.py` holds every constant |
| `tests/` | `pytest` tests; the unit tests need no browser |
| `docs/` | Project documents, wiki pages (English, Danish, Bahasa Malaysia) and the screenshots of the lecture steps |
| `Dockerfile` | A Linux image with headless Chromium for real-browser runs and screenshots |
| `Doxyfile` | Doxygen configuration for the source comments |
## 📋 Requirements
- Python 3.13 or newer.
- Selenium (the only runtime dependency; it is installed by `pip` and finds the browser driver itself).
- Google Chrome or Chromium to run the bot on your own machine.
- `pytest` and `pytest-cov` for the tests (development extra only).
- Docker, only if you want to run the bot or take screenshots without opening a window on your desktop.
- Doxygen, only to build the source documentation.
## 🛠️ Setup
Create a local virtual environment, upgrade `pip` and install the project with the test tools:
```bash
python -m venv .venv
```
Activate it:
```bash
# Linux and macOS
source .venv/bin/activate
```
```powershell
# Windows PowerShell
.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
```
```bash
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
```
Leave the environment with `deactivate`. The folder `.venv` is ignored by git.
## ▶️ Run
With the environment active:
```bash
cookie-clicker-bot
```
or, without installing the command:
```bash
python -m cookie_clicker_bot
```
The bot plays for 5 minutes, then prints one line on standard output, for example `cookies/second: 18.9`. What it did (clicks, purchases, time) is logged on standard error. Options:
| Option | What it does | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--duration SECONDS` | How long to play | 300 |
| `--interval SECONDS` | Time between upgrade checks (greater than 0) | 5 |
| `--buy-all` | Buy every affordable upgrade, most expensive first, instead of one | off |
| `--headless` | Run Chromium without a window | off (on in Docker) |
| `--screenshot PATH` | Save a screenshot when the run ends | none |
| `--screenshot-start PATH` | Save a screenshot before the first click | none |
To keep your desktop free, run it in the Docker container (headless Chromium). Options go after the image name:
```bash
docker build -t cookie-clicker-bot .
docker run --rm cookie-clicker-bot
docker run --rm cookie-clicker-bot --headless --interval 10
```
## 🧪 Tests
```bash
python -m pytest
```
Coverage of the logic modules is checked with `python -m pytest --cov`. Tests that need a real browser are marked `browser` and run in the Docker container; all other tests need neither a browser nor the network.
Build the source documentation with Doxygen:
```bash
doxygen Doxyfile
```
