Introduction

When you're working on your computer and don't want it to go into sleep mode, you can use this program to simulate mouse activity. It moves the mouse cursor in a square pattern, right-clicks, and then waits for a specified duration before repeating the process. This activity keeps your computer awake and prevents it from going to sleep.

Prerequisites

Before using this program, make sure you have the following installed on your computer:

• Python (This program was developed with Python 3. You can check your Python version by running python --version.)

You'll also need to install a few Python packages using pip:

• tkinter: This is typically included with Python but may need to be installed separately in some cases.

pip install tk
pyautogui: A Python library to control the mouse and keyboard.
pip install pyautogui

Usage

• Run the program by executing the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

python main.py

• The application window will appear.

• Click the "Start" button to begin simulating mouse activity. The program will move the mouse cursor in a square pattern and right-click, preventing your computer from going to sleep.

• To stop the activity, click the "Stop" button.

• You can adjust the mouse movements and sleep duration in the code to suit your preferences.

Setup.py file

The setup.py script is used for packaging and distributing Python code. In this setup configuration, it utilizes cx_Freeze to create an executable version of the mouser.py script. This allows for easy distribution and execution of the Python script as a standalone application across various platforms.
