The number of buttons pressed/game

So I recently discovered a program that counts the number of clicks and keys that have been clicked and tallies them, it then makes a heatmap for the mouse clicking, red is where you click the most and blue is where you dont click. Does the same thing for the keyboard, shows which keys you clicked the most.

The point is, I played a 35 minutes 2v2 a TT vs PZ. And then I looked at the statistics. Here are the images d^_^b

2. Keyboard Heatmap http://imgur.com/UCNH2uL
3. Total number of clicks http://imgur.com/MO5Ta1M

And the replay if you want. I found it pretty back and forth, Very noobie but then again playing Terran is fun. http://drop.sc/371315

The point of this is: isn't that fun to know?

The program is called WhatPulse and is completely free

The mouse heatmap looks interesting. What's with the red point over a single spot on the minimap? One would think it would be larger than that.

I honestly have no idea why its so red in the bottom right of the map, I read that it might not work for some games because the mouse is confined in a single place, but it seems to work. So I have no idea why the most I have clicked is there.

Here's after 3 more games http://imgur.com/7MvjZuq

Do you play Starcraft windowed or fullscreen but at a lower resolution than desktop?

This is really cool. It reminds me of this other program that also tracks mouse movements. I don't think it tracks keypresses, though.

isn't that the place for the whole army button? I don't have it hotkeyed at all and sometimes use it when i forget to set rally points :D

That's where it is indeed, but I don't click there when I use it, I just press F2. So it still baffles me why it is so red. :/

Do you click the minimap a lot as you play? It looks like your ingame resolution is smaller than your screen resolution and that hotspot is actually on the minimap rather than the army button.

Yeah, it also makes the dot much more sensible, since the minimap would be much smaller. People rarely click the edges of the minimap so the "3 games after"-screenshot red dot actually covers most of the map.
