Hello everyone.
Most [all] of the code I do is research-based, and doesn't tend to
have a UI component. Recently, inspired by a debate with a friend, I
thought it would be cool to write a little application that
demonstrated Fitts' Law. Most specifically, that it's faster to
acquire a global menu bar than a window-based menu bar.
Sadly, I don't have the expertise in Cocoa or Carbon (Java?) to do
this quickly, and I don't have time (ie my advisor would kill me) to
spend learning it.
It occurred to me that this might be a good place to ask if anyone
has or can recommend any appropriate sample code. Essentially what I
would need to do would be:
-place the mouse at a (random?) location
-identify target.
-start timer when the pointer starts moving
-end timer when menu is selected
-accrue data for graphing, averages, etc.
anyone have anything that I could possibly adapt? Java would be
ideal, I think, since it could be run on multiple platforms. (though
I lack experience there too)
Thanks,
Markian
