What happened to that key counting thing?

[Joe42]

Is it still around?

Can't remember what its called, it counts key presses and mouse clicks and generates stats or something.

 

[Joe42]

What...?

Its a dc program where you compete on key presses and mouse clicks. Wondering what happened to it?

The game Duke Nukem Forever springs to mind, but TKC 2.0 started eight years late. I'll leave you to ponder and figure it out.

Whaaa?

 

[Joe42]

So its all gone then?
I just figured i spend so much time pressing buttons i may aswell have something to show for it and it sounded like fun.

Whats project dolphin?

 

[Joe42]

I assume this is it?
http://www.project-dolphin.nl/

We don't seem to have a team...

It's another key counting project similar to TKC.

Well apparently tkc is dead. Are there any others other than this to choose from or is this one quite good?

 

[Joe42]

Well its not a dc project but there isn't a better collective name for it.

For all intents and purposes its a dc project, just without any computing. Still got teams and points and stats.

Excellent, i'll join up.

 

[Joe42]

What are 'pods'?

 

[Joe42]

A group of dolphins.

I know that.

How is that different from teams? Is it a mini team within a team?


My pulse thing says it can't connect to the server...

 

[Joe42]

I saw that but i can't see where to set it.

 

[Joe42]

Won't work for me either.

Does it need a reboot?

 

[Joe42]

Works. Thanks rich.

 

[Joe42]

Is it just keys it counts?
Or is it clicks aswell?

 

[Joe42]

Does that one do mouse movements and such aswell?

 

[Joe42]

Right, i've joined.
There only seemed to be one ocuk team so i assume you deleted the new one.

Heh two stomps already on dolphin.

 

[Joe42]

Ok i'll join yours instead.

 

[Joe42]

Joined project dolphin thingy - only does key counts though

They should do key miles, scrolls, clicks etc as well!!

I see you've joined whatpulse though, that one does do miles, clicks etc.

I guess this is the one everyone should be joining? http://www.project-dolphin.nl/team.php?tid=4594

I'm joining both, dolphin because theres more people to compete with, whatpulse because it counts clicks and miles.

 

[Joe42]

Yes, it didn't seem to be counting miles with me

Yeah i can't see any miles figures.

 

[Joe42]

Aha.

Edit: Its still not in the stats though. I suppose they're still updating it.

 

[Joe42]

It is for me... 0.01 miles!

Some guy has done over 200 miles lol

Just drag the mouse on the back of the car on a long trip

Same. Its not in the team stats though.

Now theres a use for a carpc. Pop an optical mouse above the wheels.

 

[Joe42]

You've been running this for a while, is the program well made? Each key has to pass through the program before the program the key click is intended for gets it, so if the key counter was badly made it could cause some performance issues.

I see it only uses 5mb memory, but does it process the keys well?

Craig.

The beta? I've been running it for less than a day. All seems to work though.

 

[Joe42]

ok someone want to make one post to rule them all for this stuff?
