More details

Hello, can Playcover run in the background? I wrote a Python script to automatically play a game, but the script only works when the game window is in the foreground. Additionally, simulating mouse clicks causes my mouse to move to the game window, which prevents me from doing other work. Is it possible to add a feature ，such as I send coordinates (x, y) to Playcover, and Playcover automatically clicks in the background? Thank you.

Take a look at https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayTools if you really need to. We can't provide much more support otherwise.
