- MouseMove, by Chris Cho ©2000
- March 22, 2000 v1.0.1
-
- What does it do?
- After launched, it will move the mouse to random positions on the screen at
- predetermined time intervals. The program can be quit by pressing any key or
- clicking the mouse on the program window created.
-
- Why is it useful?
- Certain services such as messaging clients or X Window servers may cause you to
- idle out after a period of inactivity. Thus, by moving the mouse continuously,
- you no longer have to worry about being logged out. The program works in the
- foreground as well as the background.
- I'm guessing it could also be used as a prank. This was not the intended usage.

-
- Version History:
-
- Version 1.0.1
- -------------
- Mouse position changes very slightly so the user will have less problems
- switching apps. Also, a random time interval between mouse movements has
- been inserted. Window size has decreased as a result since it will no
- longer be difficult to click.
-
- Version 1.0 (March 21, 2000)
- -----------
- First public release.
-
- Bugs:
- I did not implement a refresh of the screen, so the program information and
- updates information will disappear if the program window is covered up. The
- program is currently PPC only because of some compatability issue that I plan
- to research. Please send me any reports of bugs that you find.
-
- Features in Progress:
- -68k compatibility
- -User-specified time intervals
- -Cleaner interface
- -Daemon application
