VIT FFCS Add Drop automation

FFCS Zapper

This is a simple implementation to try to automate the add/drop process so that you don't have to sit ny the screen pressing F5 every few minutes. This program will do it for you!!

Motivation

I had bad slots. A lot of FFCS meme's were floating around. Wanted to do something about it. FFCS Zapper is born

Algorithm

Just continuously refresh until the slot gets an empty seat. Add it and notify user by email that work is done. Exit gracefully

Dependencies

• python-mechanize
• BeautifulSoup
• PIL
• GTK3+

TODO

1. Somehow implement a verification code reader. This can be done through two ways,

   • Image processing to read to captcha.asp bmp image
   • Cracking the .aspx code that generates the captcha. Already traced the origins to here

2. Maybe better the design and support . Currently this only works on GTk3+ supported systems.

3. A more intelligent course selector. Read the option that the user has input, match it with his/her existing time table slots, and determine if possible or not!

How to Run

On a UNIX machine: ./start.sh
