Hybrid Engine
Hybrid Engine is a programmable Windows automation workspace that combines Lua scripting, computer vision, OCR, overlays, and desktop interaction into one runtime. It is aimed at technical users who need to automate repetitive desktop work without stitching together separate capture tools, OCR libraries, and debugging utilities.
- Built a modular runtime in C and C++ so automation logic, capture pipelines, and interaction layers could evolve independently.
- Integrated Lua scripting so profiles can express automation logic through engine-managed `start()`, `loop()`, and `stop()` hooks.
- Implemented screen capture, OCR, template matching, and visual state detection for applications that do not expose usable APIs.
- Added live overlays and inspection tooling so detections, regions, and runtime state can be tuned visually while the script is running.
- Structured the app around reusable profiles and Script Tools so a workflow can be prototyped, copied into code, and refined over time.
- Included advanced process integration paths such as memory access and packet handling for specialized desktop automation scenarios.
- Typical uses include desktop QA, OCR-driven dashboards, internal tools, and operator workflows where visual state matters.
- The same runtime exposes vision, controls, overlay, memory, shell, web, network, and script objects to Lua.
