scripters
Those writing code
Scripters are people who write scripts—whether for film, television, theater, or computing.
In gaming contexts, scripters specifically write automated code that performs actions without manual input, often to gain unfair advantages: The server banned scripters who used aimbots.
The term can carry negative connotations when it implies someone relies on pre-written code rather than genuine skill.
