Calling programmers: very simple program needed Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I am hoping that the Poly programming crowd can come to the aid of a guy in the civ3 - help forum.

He needs a program that will centre his mouse pointer into the middle of his screen after a key press. I can't imagine this being an especially difficult programming task. You get to show off your skill while helping a guy in need. Think of the fame, think of the karma

Suffering from ads?

The program is simple, getting it to work when Civ3 is 'on top' is the problem!

BTW it's a great idea, it would come in very handy at 1600x1200

the problem is it's likely that Civ 3 (never played it) remembers or does something else with it's cursor location when the Civ3 app regains focus. So you could have a System Tray app that responds to the appropriate keystroke event passed from Windows, but then when Civ3 regains focus, it would do something else to the cursor and move it somwhere else, or back where it came from.

you need a line:

15 PLAY Civ3 FOR A BIT

(which is the tricky part anyway)

Ah, I had not thought of that.

I remember there being a windows accesability program that meant you could move the mouse pointer with the keys. That ran whatever was on top.

Yeah, mousekeys. But that's not actually running on top of anything, it's remapping the keypad as a mouse device.
