If you are, like me, a fan of the Farmville game on Facebook, then you would understand how laborious it is to be clicking on those little square of fields...If you want to harvest a 10x10 field, that's 100 clicks.
If you want to fallow the same land, that's another 100 clicks.
If you want to plant some seeds... another 100!
That's 300 clicks just for 1 cycle of harvest!!
Here's GridClicker in action!
It's absolutely Free!
However if you have enjoyed using this program, I would kindly ask you to consider making a small donation towards it. (£1 would allow me to get a chocolate bar at lunch time :-) This would encourage me to carry on the development in order to make future releases, as well as spend more time to respond to the support queries from the users!
You can send coins to me via Paypal. My Paypal email is gridclicker -AT- gmail dot com
I have found that during the clicking frenzy, sometimes you (or the little farmer you on screen) would be in the way. When this happens the little farmer will be clicked on and the change clothes screen will be popped up. All the clicks after that will be ruined. So before you start sending the clicks, it is a good idea to move your farmer to the bottom of the field so that he/she is out of the way.
Another popular trick is to "trap" your farmer in the middle of the field in his default start position. Now when you plant/harvest, the farmer will stay where he is and perform the actions "remotely", thus further improves the farming efficiency eliminating the walking time entirely. In this scenario, you can skip the square your farmer is on simply by clicking on that square in the grid.
Some of you have asked whether GridClicker can be made to work with FarmVille in full screen mode, as your farm is too big to fit into the normal FarmVille window. Short answer is no - I've yet to figure out a way to bring a window to foreground without kicking flash player off full-screen.
A work round in this case would be to have a smaller grid, and then send several batches to cover the whole field!
There is currently no plans to make any further releases.
I hope you enjoy using this program. If you have any comments/ feedback/feature requests, I can be reached at gridclicker -AT- gmail followed by dot com. I can't promise to answer all the emails but I'll try. In any case it is always nice to hear that people are benefitting from using this program.
