# Unicoin Miner

#
# ** Press the `P` key or `Space` to stop the program **
#
# Description: 
# Looks for rocks and clicks them
# Unicoins were a April Fools Joke on all StackExchange sites
# Just wanted to try out some basic vision and input emulation
#
# See it in action: 
# http://youtu.be/B74NHzUbvYo
#
# Made and Tested with Python 2.7 on Windows 8
#
# Dependencies:
# pyhk: https://github.com/schurpf/pyhk
#	For global hotkey stopping
# Pillow: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pillow
# 	Screen capture
# pywin: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pywin32
# 	Left click emulation
#
# Note:
# Only captures and works on the primary monitor. This is a limitation of pillow.
# Does not work perfectly...
