Mouse Prints Are Neat, What do they mean?

I'll post my most recent few mouse prints and then talk about them:

[image loading]

Clearly the marks from boxing aren't helpful (the diagonal lines from top left to bottom middle) so i set the initial time where it doesn't record to be longer. Problem solved.


[image loading]

This one was clearly a long game ^^

However I don't remember making a circle and then filling it in. I wonder why I get these circles? Is it a glitch?


[image loading]

This game really highlights the fact that I use a hotkeyed button to move the camera with the mouse and have the borders of my screen not set to move the camera. I'm adamant that this is superior to having to move your mouse to the fringes of the screen where it is far from the most useful place (the center). I'd like to figure out a little game I can play by myself to practice moving the camera long distances though. I should be able to zip around the map with the camera hotkey pressed (like fly super fast to any base) but I find this quite hard to do. I think a bigger mouse pad would also help ( my mouse pad is as wide and tall as my hand stretched out).


[image loading]

I feel like each one favours the left side of the screen. I think perhaps taking 10-20 of these from one day and superimposing them would give more of a general trend?

circles are mouse clicks i think. bigger the circle the more clicks there.

Oh okay weird. So i clicked a ton on those spots? I'm still a little confused by this i feel like there should be lots of smaller dots.

I don't get it. I played like eleven games of W3 as night elf when i was a kid? Are undead warriors known for making mouse prints?

I've never used mouse prints either cause i have no idea what to look for...


I mean ideally I would think there should be no movement at the edges of the screen since I don't move the camera that way. The only reason I would go there would be to do things I shouldn't like click the minimap. But still I venture into the bottom right on all but one of them. I think this is something to think about..

interesting note... should do a few replays to see if it's in relation to your spawn location, extra motion after dragging boxes or actually camera movement. (pics still not working for me - edit they work if opened in their own tab)

I think that your images are broken.

Have you uploaded them to imgur?

@jnc I agree, I think I will build up a few days worth and look at them all.

imgur perpetually stops at either 85% or 100% for me. I just refresh the page, try to upload, it gets stuck. Three or four times of that and I try a random one. I think imageshack.us works here on TL so i'll try that in the future

Actually the dots mean you halted your mouse there for a moment. The bigger the dot, the longer your mouse stood still on that spot. At least, that's what most mouse trackers do :p
