New ask Hacker News story: Implemented the WindMouse Algorithm in Python
Implemented the WindMouse Algorithm in Python
2 by AsfhtgkDavid | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, WindMouse is a fairly old and well-known algorithm for generating human-like mouse movements (curved paths, variable speed, natural deceleration). It’s often referenced in automation discussions, but surprisingly I couldn’t find a clean, well-tested, reusable implementation as a Python library. So I decided to implement it myself. The project is now released as WindMouse : * Strong typing ( NewType for coordinates, mypy-friendly) * Two backends: * PyAutoGUI (cross-platform) * AutoHotkey (Windows) The algorithm itself is not new - the implementation is. My goal was to create something that could be downloaded and immediately used in projects. I’m looking for help with: * Testing on different OS setups (especially macOS edge cases) * New backends (e.g. native macOS, Wayland, low-level Windows APIs, game engines, remote desktops) * Feedback on API design and parameter defaults Happy to answer questions about the algorithm, design decisions, or tradeoffs.
