iDunnoDev a2ad5443d5 Added some faux mouse polling since the movements were creating way too many events (this wasn't an issue in the past with low DPI mice)
Added a check to make sure the user cannot use the same Key twice for actions
Added a count down timer update for when a user is setting the start position so they know how long they need to wait
Added an offset to the final click in the action so the mouse re-clicks the app window into focus
Removed some unused code and Cleaned up some methods

# google-game-thing
## Description
The Google Game thing is a small Visual Basic .net app that allows the user to draw shapes that can be used to emulate the same action at a given position with the left mouse button held.
This was created to be used with [Googles 2016 Halloween doodle game](https://www.google.com/doodles/halloween-2016), but could have other uses, you can even download and tweak it for your own purposes if needed!
## Installation
Just download the executable from the releases tab or compile it in visual studio and run.
## Usage
You set up actions by clicking the "Record Action" button, you then draw the action on that window by left clicking and holding whilst making a shape on the window, then press a keyboard key and hit escape. It will then ask you to give the action a name and add it to the system.
Before you can use any actions, you need to hit the “Set Pos” button, and move the mouse to the start position (generally the game area) and wait for the button to turn red.
Then you can give focus back to the "Google Game thing" window and hit the key for the action you just added, and it will take control of the mouse and play out the action.
