Automating the game

"Hacking" the game with command line scripts is not only possible, but encouraged. Many people include an alias sc=shellcraft into their .bashrc or .bash_profile.

You can write scripts like this one to e.g. automatically mine 10 ore with ./mine.sh ore 10:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
for i in `seq 1 $2`; do
    shellcraft mine $1
done
