I need to test a software that treats some mouse movements as “gestures”. For such a task I need to emulate mouse movement from point A to point B, not in straight line, but as a real mouse moves – with curves, a bit of jaggedyness etc. Is there any available solution (algorithm/code itself, not a library/exe) that I can use?
Of course I can write some simple sinusoidal math by myself, but this would be a very crude emulation of a human hand leading a mouse. Perhaps such a task has been solved already numerous times, and I can just borrow an existing code? 🙂
Take a look at the Mouse.simba file which is part of the SRL Framework, a macro program designed to work with online games like Runescape. Runescape has extensive macro detection capabilities so all parts of the SRL Framework have been developed to look as human as possible – the mouse functions in particular.
The code is in Pascal but should be quite easy to read. Look at the
MMouse()procedure by BenLand100 it moves very realistically doing advanced movements like loops and overshooting its target as well as continuously varying accelerations and directions (also now has laptop touchpad type movements). If you want to test it you’ll need to download SIMBA and enable the SRL-include.
