"Buttercup GO!" Player

Skills used:

Python
Selenium Web Driver

This program automatically plays a web-browser game called "ButterCup GO!" Every part of the game is an HTML element, so we can target all the text, buttons, obstacles, and characters in the game.

The bot tracks the height of the incoming obstacle and moves the character up or down to get through it. Once that obstacle reaches an x position of 600px, it switches its focus to the second obstacle and adjusts the character's height accordingly.

When the bot loses, it submits the score and replays the game. Performance generally differs depending on which web browser is used by the code. I currently have Firefox as the default browser.

Code:
