I'm trying to build a bot that will learn to play celeste as part of a project. The wall I keep hitting right now is simulating key strokes. Can anyone help me with this? the game crashes when I use Sendkey from System.Windows.Forms.

where is vid somewhere how that bot beats first screen of prologue

iirc celeste tas has an end point where you can send arbitrary inputs in real time

amazing 🤩 Where can I find it?

You can only send actions like frame advance to celestetas
While it might be possible to dynamically write a tas file and frame advance, it would be quite slow
I think it would make sense to see how celestetas hijacks inputs and do the same
Note that there are a few cases for older versions in celestas' code, you can just ignore those

huh, does this not work with arbitrary keybinds?

No only hotkeys

Hmm it might be easier to just use celestetas as a dependency tho 
And that shouldnt really have performance issues

Just because someone else already did it doesnt have to mean you cant do it

Would you happen to know where in TAS They do this? I've looked over the code and cant figure it out

dont know where exactly, tho as said later, it might make sense creating a tas on the fly
