Part I: Download AutoHotKey
If you don't already use this gem:

- Download @ https://autohotkey.com/

- Install

- Right-click desktop and create new AutoHotKey Script

Part II: Create the AutoHotKey script
- Copy/paste the contents below into the script:

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

Part III: Run, jump, win!
- Start the game in windowed mode (800x600 is fine)

- Queue up the jump rope game to the point where Vivi is in position and ready to jump with the (!) bubble above his head

- Now click outside the game and run the AutoHotKey script by double clicking. NOTE: it will be running in the background and will not start until you trigger the shortcut command.

- IMPORTANT: Click back in the game, and make sure your cursor is CENTERED in the (!) bubble. Once you get above 200 jumps, that sucker starts popping up reaaaal quick. If the cursor is not placed correctly, the automator will miss, and you'll have to start over. This is too boring not to do once.

- Click ctrl + alt + r to start the script. NOTE: The game is quirky at sending clicks sometimes. I had some trouble getting this started. Just left click a bunch until it registers the first jump.

- Once it does, sit back and enjoy. 1000 jumps will be over in no time.

- Once you reach 1000 (or if for any other reason you need to break the script), press "esc". AutoHotKey will quit.

- NOTE: You will not see the Steam achievement pop up until you stop jumping rope. The girl hands you the award.

Hey all - just now seeing this thread after some time. Apologies if it's not working. First, it's not foolproof at all. It has a lot to do with the specs of your machine and the game settings. If that script doesn't work, try playing with the settings to modify speed-of-click. For those having issue with the click itself, try moving the cursor to ensure it's targeting the white and black "!"

hello, can you tell where exactly this particular spot where I need to position the mouse?

Another thing I found was testing the positioning of your mouse. I had to get it in a pretty particular spot for it not to fail around 200 jumps

BoKo try messing with the speed at which AHK sends the click. I'm sure that it varies by machine... Look here for code how to do it: https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/MouseClick.htm
