Snute's Click Game (SC2 Precision trainer)

[image loading]


Sometimes players call out each other for being imprecise with mouse movement and accuracy. I made a downloadable game for Windows resolution 1920x1080 to help practice accuracy. It is very simple, but can help you improve precision and stress management.

How to use the game:
1. Download the zip file, extract it anywhere you want and doubleclick on SnuteClickGame (red icon).
2. The game is now launched. Left-click the red-dot in the 'minimap' to begin the game.
3. Click the 3 red dots in the playfield to unlock another red dot in the minimap.
4. Repeat this and click as many red dots as possible before the time runs out. The time is shown in a green bar above the minimap.
-- Tip: Try not to mis-click because hits and misses will be counted until the score screen. You want to have as many right clicks and as few misses as possible.
-- Tip: Be conscious of your breathing and stress level when exercising this task. You may feel a stress similar to when under pressure in StarCraft if you're pushing yourself to clicking as many red buttons as possible.
-- Tip: You can reset the game with F2 and exit the game with Alt-F4. The game will start on your main monitor and is only in Fullscreen 1920x1080.

How to make sense of this game, SC2 and optimal settings for your games
1. Uncheck 'Enable Mouse Sensitivity' in StarCraft 2. If you have been using the % slider function until now, you might want to stop. Disabling this option will make your pointer move the same way both in and out of game. Even when browsing the internet, clicking links, opening folders, you're still aiming and pointing and developing your precision.

2. Go to Control Panel, Mouse Properties, Pointer Options, make sure your mouse pointer speed is at 6/11. There are some pretty detailed topics here on TL explaining all of this so I'm not gonna go more into it. Disable "enhance pointer precision", also known as mouse acceleration.

3. If the speed is not comfortable with you, adjust the DPI on the mouse. Not all mice support this but if you have the option I'd recommend using that in combination with the settings in step 1 and 2.

As an example, I use the Razer Deathadder 2013 with 1900 dpi (default is 1800) and 6/11 in Windows at 1920x1080. Mouse sensitivity in SC2 is unchecked, so that my sense in SC2 and in Windows is the same.

What makes this game different from other flash/website precision trainers
There are some precision trainers out there but none of them are built around SC2. The minimap and playfield is of the same size as SC2, so you'll be practicing precision in a somewhat familiar environment. While you're obviously not practicing StarCraft and the tasks you're executing in this game are totally different it should still be useful.

The major difference about this game and SC2 is that the things you need to click are extremely small and that you can't proceed with the game if you miss. The red buttons in this game are 10x10 pixels in size. Clicking in this game can be more difficult than clicking in StarCraft. If you think about it, most of the things you click in SC2 are big in size. Minerals are decently sized, main buildings are big, and sending workers to a gas geyser and executing macro doesn't require the precision of target-firing Banelings with Marines.

Which one is the most difficult to click, the Baneling or the Extractor?


A problem with SC2 is that the scenarios where you need spot-on precision don't happen often enough to get quality practice, and most of the time there isn't any real NEED for precision because you can still play decently and win games without. Very rarely does SC2 actively punish you for mis-clicking. An example is creep spread. You can have a very imprecise creep spread but still be able to win games, so you might not be aware of the improvement potential.

Some precision trainers have circles that change size, move or need to be pressed rapidly. This game is completely static and runs at your own pace. The buttons are very small but also do not move and are not on a timer. This makes the game playable for anyone regardless of your precision and speed skills.

-----------------------------------------


The game was made with a super old software called The Games Factory. I will not make it for other resolutions and I don't know how to make games in Flash or for websites, this is the only game programming I know. Just wanted to share it with u guys, who knows maybe someone who knows a bit more about game development will make a cooler and more useful trainer or something? maybe something in the Arcade? who knows~

Anyway maybe it will be helpful to some of you ^-^

Let's play and share our scores!!

Cool game Snute! I got 59 out of 67 on my best attempt. So hard, I think this really really can help improve accuracy. Do you plan on doing this as a warmup daily or anything?

Fun game! My best so far is 60 out of 63. Have you considered setting it up so we can hit F5 to instantly restart?

I uploaded a 3rd version now that can be re-sized, it's kinda sketchy but it's the best I can do. T_T sorry~
only alternative would be to make one edition for every resolution out there, which would take a lot of time
