Perfect Circle

This project automates drawing a perfect circle in a web game where the objective is to draw a circle as accurately as possible. The program captures two mouse positions and then simulates drawing a perfect circle that passes through both points.

The game can be played at https://neal.fun/perfect-circle/

Overview

The program performs the following steps:

1. Waits for 2 seconds: Allows you to position the mouse at the first point (p1).
2. Captures the first mouse position (p1).
3. Waits for another 2 seconds: Allows you to move the mouse to the second point (p2).
4. Captures the second mouse position (p2).
5. Calculates the circle's center and radius so that both p1 and p2 lie on the circumference.
6. Simulates drawing the circle starting from p1, moving the mouse along calculated points.
7. Completes the circle, ending at p1.

How It Works

• Mouse Position Capture: Uses the Windows API to get the current mouse position.
• Circle Calculation:
  • The center is calculated as the midpoint between p1 and p2.
  • The radius is the distance from the center to either point.
  • The initial angle theta0 is calculated so that drawing starts from p1.
• Mouse Movement Simulation:
  • The program simulates mouse movements along the circle's circumference.
  • It uses the Windows API to move the mouse cursor and simulate mouse button presses/releases.

Requirements

• Operating System: Windows (due to the use of Windows-specific APIs).
• Rust: Ensure you have Rust installed. You can download it from rust-lang.org.

Usage

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/TeamDman/perfect-circle.git
   cd perfect-circle

2. Build the Program:

   cargo build --release

3. Run the Program:

   cargo run --release

4. Interact with the Program:

   • After running, the program waits for 2 seconds.
   • First Point: Move your mouse to the desired starting point (p1) during this time.
   • The program captures the first position.
   • It waits for another 2 seconds.
   • Second Point: Move your mouse to the second point (p2) during this time.
   • The program captures the second position.
   • It then moves the mouse back to p1 and starts drawing the circle.

5. Enjoy the Result:

   • The program will draw a perfect circle passing through both p1 and p2.
   • Use this in the web game to achieve a high score!

Notes

• Safety: Be cautious when running programs that control mouse movements. Ensure that you don't have unsaved work in other applications to prevent unintended interactions.
