Auto Clickers

No, I'm not accusing anyone. No, I'm not asking if it's allowed. Actually, I'm asking how one would use an auto clicker, and how to tell if someone uses one.

As someone who moderates over 90 games and 10 series on speedrun.com, I'm starting to learn how to cheat so I can spot someone doing so. The first thing that came to mind was auto clickers. I figured the runners/mods of this game would know quite a lot about this. So, yea. If you have any other moderator tips as well I'd be happy to hear them! Cheers m8s.

If I look at the current WR I just don't believe it, perfect mashing nonstop and the cursor doesn't move at all. It's also kind of fishy that the video has no sound

The first thing I would do is slow down the video frame by frame and count the number of frames in between each click. If it is consistent, that's a pretty good indicator of auto-clicking. No Human is going to be able to maintain the same number of frames in between each and every click.

Another Thing I might look for is if the cursor is moving around, though this isn't necessarily an indicator as Laptop players can easily keep the cursor still.

(Also regarding the above concern, Based on the invonsistant clicks and fumbling around to grab some of the upgrades, I don't think it's using an auto clicker.)

Ya that is weird. You'd think a game like this would require footage of the mouse or something.

That makes sense strahi, but im pretty sure you can turn auto clickers off and on with the click of a button and using a touch screen you can move it's position anywhere right? At least I'd assume so. Regardless I suppose that is an obvious sign.

Yes I have autoclicker myself you can make it change the speed of the clicks and also use a shortkey
