  1. Could I get a copy of the applescript itself? I am on a tight network at school and that particular website is blocked. Thanks

  2. Link fixed. Unfortunately, no, this does not work for Windows, it's Mac only. Thanks for pointing out the mistake and keep reading.

  3. The link attached just redirects to games on your website 🙁 Also this works for Windows right?
