Welcome to Synaptic Mouse Ninja—a cheeky evolution of the venerable Mouse Jiggler by the legendary arkane-systems. This isn't just a mere fork; it's a whole new beast. We've taken the core idea, given it a fresh coat of WPF, refactored the heck out of it, and tossed out the ancient User32 dependency. The result? A sleeker, more secure, and less detectable solution for your mouse-jiggling needs.
Kudos and unending praise to arkane-systems for the original brilliance. We stand on the shoulders of giants.
Mouse Ninja is dark hack code for educational purposes only. Seriously, don't use this in an office environment unless you're really itching for a conversation with your IT department. Use responsibly!
- WPF Magic: Enjoy the modern, pretty interface that only WPF can provide.
- No User32: We've exorcised the old User32 dependency, making Mouse Ninja more secure and stealthy.
- Same Great Functionality: Keeps your screen awake and idle detectors at bay, just like the original.
Getting started with Mouse Ninja is simple:
- Clone the Repo:
git clone https://github.com/geosynapse/synaptic-mouse-ninja.git - Build the Solution: Open the solution in Visual Studio and hit that build button.
Fire up Mouse Ninja and keep your mouse in perpetual motion. Here's the rundown:
- Run the App: Launch
GeoSynapse.Ninja.exe. - Start Jiggling: Check the "Jiggling?" checkbox to begin.
- Zen Mode: Enable "Zen jiggle?" to jiggle the mouse without actually moving the pointer. (Warning: May not work with all idle detection systems).
Command-line options are also available for the power users out there:
Usage:
GeoSynapse.MouseNinja [is-enabled] [is-minimized] [is-in-zen-mode] [interval-period]
- Command-line Help: If you encounter issues with command-line help when installed via certain methods, refer to our detailed installation guide.
To save you some time, here are features you won't find in Mouse Ninja:
- Autorun on Startup: Use the Startup folder or Task Scheduler.
- Timed Startup/Shutdown: That's what Task Scheduler is for, folks.
