Your mouse currently measures distance moved.
Add a timing device to the mouse.
d/t calculations galore. Add current speed to your task bar, with associated animal image for pictorial reference.
Add average speed to check if you're a little quicker today than normal.
Have office mousespeedo
competitions.

no, I have no interest whatsoever, and obviously screen resolution will have the greatest impact on the perceived speed.. you're weird. |
|
| |
screen resolution has nothing to do with it. d is derived from physical distance on mousemat or desk. Easy on the insults, bro. |
|

Mouse already measures speed, as this is used to make the Acceleration work in the MS mouse driver - the faster you move it the more it accelerates, so that a quick movement requires you to only move the mouse a short distance. Ergo, just need it to be represented grpahically or something, don't need any new timing device. |

How are you gonna train the mice to pose in speedos?
And in your office? |
|
| |
I'm disappointed; this is neither spandex for rodents nor furry swimsuits for fashion models. Glum. |
|
| |
how can you build up any speed when your mousemat is only 8" long? |
|
| |
I've seen script snippets to display mouse position and speed, so what you want is out there somewhere. |
|
| |
Nice idea but your speed differs very much depending on what you do. Gaming? or leaving it sit there while you're typing? |
|
| |
quite right [alico], but this is a olympic-esque vision where the fastest wins. It matters not what you were doing to set a new record or personal best, just that the new high speed was registered. |

I thought this would be a little swimuit to put on your mouse. Hot pink w/yellow polka dots. |
|
| |
I agree it should be a bathing suit for your mouse. |
|
| |
And it should measure mouse speed as a percentage of the speed of light. And show the "red-shift" of the cursor -- you know, highly useful astronomical data. |
|
| |
Race your cursor through a track of words, phrases, and sentences. If you bump a letter, you lose a point. Lines need not always track level and horizontal across the page. |
|
| |
An important exception to the letter bumping rule is that if you pass a spelling error, leaving it uncorrected, you lose a huge number of points. However, if you correct a non-error, you lose all your points, and maybe even go into the red. |
|
| |
The reason for the latter rule is that it helps end the oppression of the Innocents that our evil present spelling systems are - every one of them. I'll give an example: If you "correct" the word "color", you'll lose the points. If you then cunningly adjust, and next "correct" the word "practise", you will Again lose points. And the same goes for all similar examples - as well as a few more it would bore you even more to hear. |
|
| |
And, finally, you can gain big points by using the program's keyboard shortcuts. To really do well in the game, you need to be good with eg the arrow keys. |
