What I need to know is, is it possible to measure the speed at which the user moves the mouse cursor over the screen so that my game can react to it?
It probably sounds like a stupid question, but the whole point of the game is reacting to the mouse movement.
thanks

Just be aware that mousemovex() and mousemovey() works once per sync. If you read it once, you get the value. If you read it twice in between syncs, the second time it will be 0. The best thing to do is copy it to a variable first.

Maybe every frame, you can compare the current mouse position with the last one (which was saved in a varaible) and calculate how fast the player is moving the mouse every [framerate here]th of a second...
