Freeways-helping-hand

Autohotkey script that draws Bezier Curves (quad/cubic)

Checkout Freeways, a game where you build roads, interchanges, and freeways by drawing on screen.

This tool helps to draw smooth curves or very straight lines.

4 Checkpoints can draw complex curves

Steps to install

1. Download the .ahk files from the repo
2. Download and install AutoHotkey
3. Double-click / run freeways-helping-hand.ahk

How to use

Draw a straight line

1. Move the mouse cursor to the left of the screen
2. Then press e, to add a checkpoint
3. Move the mouse to the right of the screen
4. Then press e, to add another checkpoint
   1. An overlay will appear on screen, showing the intended drawing path
5. Now press f to draw
   1. The mouse cursor will move by itself along a straight line between those 2 checkpoints

2 Checkpoints draw a straight line

Draw a curve

Follow the same steps as drawing a line, but keep adding more checkpoints

3 Checkpoints draw a curve

More control

Key	Result
ctrl+Q	Quit the hotkey app. This will stop keys being "stuck"
W	Draw while pressed. Press and hold W, then release to stop drawing. A short single press of W will continue the drawing by 1 step. Continue tapping W to slowly draw.
F	Draw until completion
E	Add a checkpoint at mouse cursor location
R	Reset list of checkpoints. Use this if you did not complete the previous drawing
S	Set bridge-level adjustment. When using bridges in Freeways, the game will force a short section of road forwards (beyond where the script has drawn thus far). Compensate for that difference with this hotkey everytime you click on the bridge up/down button.
1 - 9	Reposition specific checkpoint.
