Funny, i tried to catch window for five minute with my mouse...never sucessfully catch !

[youknowwho4eva]

I win

$mouse = MouseGetPos()
WinSetOnTop("Catch me!","",1)
WinMove("Catch me!","",$mouse[0] - 70,$mouse[1] - 10)

[UltraFine]

wow i am the winner, btw: your script is very good. Thanks

[youknowwho4eva]

Only thing I would change, is that when there is no mouse movement, that the center radio be selected.

[FireFox]

$mouse = MouseGetPos()
WinSetOnTop("Catch me!","",1)
WinMove("Catch me!","",$mouse[0] - 70,$mouse[1] - 10)

Lol nice cheat

[youknowwho4eva]

I saw nothing in the rules about not moving the window . It just says to catch it. So I wouldn't say "cheat", really I wouldn't even say "bent the rules". I just pulled a scorpion. *Flawless Victory*

[dansxmods]

^+break "you win!"

[spudw2k]

Yeah, I got it...without cheating. Sure at first I did the old Alt+f4 and got a YOU WIN , but I was actually able to "catch it" with my Dual Display setup and using my Crappy Lenovo's Trackpoint.

[youknowwho4eva]

Just hitting escape works too.

[FireFox]

Just hitting escape works too.

I don't think that pressing keys is catching the window, anyway that's just stupid...

[youknowwho4eva]

Well I did catch it . To get the msgbox that you won, though is easier then actually winning. Unless you run my script to win. Just cause I'm American doesn't mean I'm stupid, just like cause your french doesn't mean you don't know how to win.

yep that's right if the game is in autoit why shouldn't we use autoit for win or make tools...

[DexterMorgan]

I WIN!!

Took me 1 second!

Click on the tray, Pause script

[youknowwho4eva]

Ha, that is a good one. But how do you resume it to claim your price? (The you win msgbox) *Marks another win for team USA*

ohh I didnt know there was a msgbox I didnt the msgbox, but still I got the window I didnt look at the code

[Worfox]

i just edited the msgbox and hid the tray icon

[youknowwho4eva]

My tool still works, sweet.

[ludocus]

My tool still works, sweet.

not really a tool.. Its a bit stupid to cheat at this game.. It shows that you suck at this game.. Edited November 20, 2008 by ludocus

Well lets take a look at the script. If you move your mouse up 1, the window moves up 1. You move your mouse left 1, the window moves 1. So he intended for us to never be able to catch the box. The only way to win is to cheat as you say. Which I saw nothing in the rules about making a script to move the window. I don't know what all this aggression is for but if there is someone from a country that has won a war other then it's own civil war that has an issue with how I beat the game I'd like to hear it. My bet is people from those countries know how to use the rules in their advantage. I don't like to be a dick, but come on. The first post says to catch the box and post how you did it. So I did. If he didn't like the way I did it, when he updated the script my script would no longer work. End of question.

Edit: Catch it now
