catch the window

[ludocus]

you dissed me

I didn't know this game was impossible.. I played it 1 time and failed to win.. But I thought other people did it without cheating..

I'm sorry

One person beat it with dual monitors, I have dual monitors but I couldn't duplicate their solution. I believe some video drivers even have the option of preventing windows from leaving the screen. If you have a touch screen or a drawing pad it would be possible to catch it as well. Regardless all is forgiven. Just because I have looked to some of your scripts for examples .

Just a side note, I'm disappointed in myself, I beat my catch the box by modifying my original script a little.

lol nice but its quite easy to beat if your running it out of scite.. well at least for me i ran it once just to see what would happen and figured out that the box moves relative to the mouse also the mouse is moved to create a distance from the box. however if you were to stop the mouse from moving the box would be created just below the mouse when the "go" button on scite was pressed, allowing me to simply move the mouse down ^^

all i did was comment 1 line out haha

The point isn't to kill the window with a script, the point is, as the title says, catch the window.

[Prab]

I caught the window by moving my mouse very quickly.

There is a race condition in the script. If you move your mouse fast enough you can exploit this and move the window a few pixels closer to your mouse per loop. By repeatedly swiping your mouse quickly one direction, then slowly the other, you can move the windows closer to your mouse.

I don't feel that writing a script to do this is cheating (we are on a scripting forum), but I feel that I solved the real puzzle.

Edit: Found diagonals are even more effective. I was able to beat it in about 20 seconds using this technique.

LOL that is amusing for a while... maybe have the window stay stationary but when the mouse cursor gets with in 30 pixles it moves the oposite direction??

[Pantera975]

I caught it pretty quick by just pushing alt. When I saw what it was doing I just started randomly pushing buttons to see what they do and ALT seems to stop it. I checked to see if it was a hotkey and its not.. strange..
