Woah, I never seen something like this done with bash and command line utilities. Thanks for sharing, made me find xdotool which is exactly what I neede to replace SikuliX. I can't comment on the project since I didn't test it but wow, only this example https://bitbucket.org/Pirates-of-Silicon-Hills/voightkampff/... made me think why didn't OP use a scripting language and went with Bash? (Python?) Don't get me wrong, the Bash level is strong with this one :)

Sikuli has the benefit of being fairly cross-platform, so scripts written for X will also work in Windows and in theory other more esoteric window manager environments.

It also has the ability to identify visual cues, which this doesn't seem to do.

Sikuli is not fast enough. I have know about it since it was developed at MIT because I was there in 2010

It was my first time working with Bash. My focus is algorithms and I use C++.

(as a deep learning researcher) just wanted to let you know that PhDs in AI are in Python, and that all AI papers are in Python
