Just keep storing the Mousex() Mousey() in an array. The write a program that moves the mouse pointer to those coordinates, one after another. Like Dot to dot art.

use line instead and connect the new dot to the old dot, because you can move the mouse faster than it can update.

Phaelax that's a Type array... maybe a bit complex? That did teach me something though! Now I can make ghost cars!

Anyway try this, I just made it. It's my first tutorial:

I used a UDT because I think DB has problems with growing/shrinking arrays when theres more than 1 dimension. Besides, he should learn about UDT's and how useful they can be.

This is how you would use Phaelax's function. I added some comments.
