[Feature Request] Guiding Flashlight

[logosmage]

Concept:

• Guiding Flashlight is an Experimental Mod, that limits the visible area of the screen (like the original one), but with one big difference:

• In the original mod, the player controls the visible area himself, but in the Guiding Flashlight mod, the visible area moves automatically, as if Auto playing with Flashlight, but you control the cursor yourself

• To have better understanding what I mean, check out this vid

Why I think adding this mod would be great!

• Theoretically, this could be a great practice mod for a normal Flashlight mod (and maybe this mod can greatly help other players learn beatmaps and set great scores!)

Implementation of this concept:

• The first way to implement this mod that came to my mind is to add a second cursor that will be controlled by the autopilot and will behave like as I described earlier. If you find a better way to implement this mod, I will be very happy 😁 Here is my try to implement this second cursor:

Out of Context

• If you wish, you can name this mod as "witchhunted's Flashlight Method" just for the lulz xD

@McKay42 it's sad to see that you're not interested in this idea

It feels a bit weird having to explain this, but you know I have a full time job yes? McOsu is just one hobby project I sometimes work on in my already limited free time (whenever I feel like it and there is enough motivation). Expecting fast response times for stuff like that is a bit rude.

I think the idea is interesting, which is why I didn't close the issue when github sent me the email notification. Unfortunately, ideas are relatively easy to write down. 99% of the hard work is actually writing the code that does the thing. Which is why some issues stay open for a very long time. So I have to prioritize, and currently the priority is on finishing up lazer star/pp calc next weekend. Additionally, rarely played fringe mods are generally not on top of the priority list (depending on implementation complexity, which is moderately easy in this specific case).

Just because I don't respond within a week doesn't mean I don't find it interesting. It just means that the real world exists too.

I'm sorry for my stupidity. I sometimes forget about simple, but important facts. I understood you!
This time I will wait very patiently and I will hope for you 😉
