  • I finally figured out how to track window velocity, so I used user32.dll to forcefully unclick my mouse and shatter the UI as a "punishment".

  • Thanks a lot. Being appreciated after weeks of researching the logic behind (even this is just a joke app lol) really means a lot to me. Also, I'm not trying to hide any of my mistakes while using Lemmy, even though they are not my intention, and I have just used the Lemmy platform for more than 1 week. But I do believe it is still my fault for not understanding this earlier. I will take this as a lesson for future actions instead of just relying on the servers/communities rules. And also make my words less formal just letting you know im not a clanker lol. Thanks again for your motivation and support. .

  • man i can't win lol. i literally just tried to reply to this but my comment got nuked by the auto-mod for 'profanity.'

    but yeah, you caught me—i’m from vietnam and my english is shaky, so i’ve been using tools to polish my grammar because i didn't want to look like a sketchy spammer. turns out over-polishing it just makes me look like a 'clanker' anyway.

    i'll stop trying to sound professional and just stick to my actual brain. i'm a real dev, just bad at the social part of the internet. my bad.

  • Caught me. English isn't my first language (I'm from Vietnam), so I’ve been using tools to help me fix my grammar because I didn't want to sound like a 2005 spam email.

    I guess I over-polished it and ended up sounding like a 'clanker' anyway lol. Just a real guy trying to share a project without looking like a total idiot. I'll stick to my actual broken English from now on. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  • Wow, calling me a clanker... now I actually feel offended 💀:/

  • I finally figured out how to track window velocity, so I used user32.dll to forcefully unclick my mouse and shatter the UI as a "punishment".

  • That’s a beautiful way to put it. I definitely went from "how do I move a polygon" to "wait, why does this feel like it has weight?" in about 10 lines of code. It’s wild how much of the physical world is just hidden in a simple $v += g$ loop. Definitely an "ah hah!" moment I won't forget. 〒▽〒

  • I finally figured out how to track window velocity, so I used user32.dll to forcefully unclick my mouse and shatter the UI as a "punishment".

  • It's exactly as awkward as it looks, lol. Basically, I’m a solo dev who is way better at C# than I am at "The Internet". I kept getting my posts auto-deleted for "Advertising" rules on my first account, and in my panic, I thought the account itself as "shadowbanned" or something. So I kept making new ones trying to find a community where the project actually "fit" without getting nuked. Total amateur move—I realized too late that it just makes me look like a bot farm. I'm nuking the other accounts and sticking to this one now!

  • I finally figured out how to track window velocity, so I used user32.dll to forcefully unclick my mouse and shatter the UI as a "punishment".

  • Haha, I appreciate the backup! Honestly, I totally get why the other person was annoyed—using multiple accounts was a really clumsy/noob way for me to try and find the right community for this. I'm just a solo dev who is way better at C# than I am at 'marketing.' Just glad to finally find a crowd that appreciates the 'cursed' nature of the app!

  • I finally figured out how to track window velocity, so I used user32.dll to forcefully unclick my mouse and shatter the UI as a "punishment".

  • Haha, fair point! I guess I spent too much time looking at the code and thinking "this feels too simple to work". But hey, if it hits the bottom of the screen and satisfies the VelocityY math, it’s a feature, not a bug. Glad to see another dev who appreciates the simple approach.

  • I finally figured out how to track window velocity, so I used user32.dll to forcefully unclick my mouse and shatter the UI as a "punishment".

  • Phew! Glad I haven't offended the ghost of Isaac Newton. I half-expected someone to tell me I needed a full-blown physics engine just to drop some glass polygons on the taskbar.

  • You caught me. Honestly, I'm just a solo dev who is incredibly bad at 'marketing.' I kept getting my posts deleted on other accounts because I didn't understand the 'No Ad' rules, so I kept trying to find a community that actually liked the project. I realize now that having multiple accounts looks super sketchy—I’m deleting the others and just keeping this one. I really just wanted to share the user32.dll hack I was proud of. My bad!

  • I finally figured out how to track window velocity, so I used user32.dll to forcefully unclick my mouse and shatter the UI as a "punishment".

  • I’m actually surprised no one’s roasted my math in ShatterCanvas.xaml.cs yet—I’m basically faking the 'gravity' by just incrementing VelocityY every frame. It’s surprisingly lightweight for how many polygons are flying around.

  • Put it in your calendar for next year! The "Lite" version is actually perfect for GPO deployment because it's a single portable .exe that deletes itself after one "event". It’s the ultimate hit-and-run prank—no uninstaller needed, just one confused employee and a lot of loud meme audio lol.

  • Incremental penalties are the way! I see you’re also a student of the 'Hostile UX' school of design. Shaking the window is basically the ultimate progression of button spam—once you exceed the velocity threshold, the UI simply quits on you. ψ(｀∇´)ψ

  • Glad you like it! My goal was to make the most technically impressive mistake of my career. There’s something deeply satisfying about watching a Chrome window turn into a pile of physics-accurate garbage.

  • I am not responsible for any 'Update your Resume' meetings that result from this. But if you do it, please record the reaction of the first person who shatters their Outlook. ヾ(•ω•`)o

  • Thanks lol! I spent way too much time reading old Win32 documentation just to make a joke app, so I'm glad the "API abuse" is being appreciated yike. 〒▽〒

  • I finally figured out how to track window velocity, so I used user32.dll to forcefully unclick my mouse and shatter the UI as a "punishment".

  • I’ve been practicing my "API Abuse" skills and created a desktop toy that gives your windows "fragility" consequences.

    The Cursed Technical Details Areeeee:

    • The Mouse Thief: To prevent a "teleportation" bug when the window shatters, I’m using user32.dll to send a MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP signal. It literally prys the window out of your hand if you drag it too fast.
    • The Snapshot: It uses DwmGetWindowAttribute to find the exact frame bounds (ignoring those invisible Windows shadows) , takes a screen capture, and replaces the real window with a WPF PhysicsCanvas.
    • The Physics: Each shard is a Polygon shape with its own VelocityY (gravity) and RotationSpeed.

    The Chaos (Warning: LOUD Audio): The GIF is silent, but I recorded a short demo with "m e m e" sound here: https://youtube.com/shorts/9bTcgtLpOXQ

    The Project Page: If you want to break your own desktop, I put a free lite version on Itch. It also supports custom .wav modding if you want to swap the sounds for your own stuff. https://erza-lotus-arcane.itch.io/please-drag-me-gently
