I just don't really see how a human could do the clicks shown at 0:46 on this video: https://www.speedrun.com/Poptropica/run/zq336d9y Can someone explain?

The only think I can think of is that he is using a touchscreen to put the code in.

I believe the run is cheated because when you look at picture 1 https://imgur.com/a/wlpILJ8 the tooth is not lit up but when you look at picture 2 https://imgur.com/a/b3nj9WN the tooth is lit up and the mouse hasn't moved at all, and it is the same from tooth 1 to tooth 2 https://imgur.com/a/zvlOjZ1 https://imgur.com/a/8qg9sXp and tooth 4 to the button https://imgur.com/a/HUQeSuX https://imgur.com/a/1RdWfOo so to conclude I believe that this run is fake.

im not a poptropica expert but based off of playing very mouse focused games like portal and counterstrike it just looks like some simple flicks. poptropica isnt a very fast updating game so id be willing to bet its legit. or it could be a touchscreen. but its waaaaaay too good of an edit if it is cheated for the 0.01 second timesave or whatever

But how do the teeth light up before the mouse hovers over the them? Also the time it takes to move the mouse from picture 1 to picture 2 takes about 3 frames so how could someone move there mouse over to one tooth and stop without having to over correct there movement?

Can we get a mod’s opinion? They approved it after all.

I sent the only active mod on this game a message last night on his twitch account but I don't know how often he gets on twitch.

When I first saw this run, I thought that keyboard binds might be used for predictable mouse clicks, but the use of a touchscreen definitely makes sense. Assuming this run is cheated means that either it is automated or that the video is edited. Editing the video seems like too much effort for what ends up being a very small time saver, and it seems unlikely someone would go through the effort of automating a speedrun for Poptropica. However those clicks were performed, the reason the 1st place run is significantly faster is due to different skips being used, not because of seemingly impossible clicks. I wrote an AutoHotKey script to try and replicate the video, and I found that fully automating the temple password clicks could be much faster that what is seen in the run. Either there was a pause in the automation to make is seem more real (which, again, would be a lot of effort for very little time saved), or a touchscreen is being used. I believe the mouse moving so fast is just the result of touch screen taps, and not because of some form of cheating.

So upon further inspection of the video and doing some testing my self I think he is using a touchscreen for the temple password and I don't know if using a touchscreen is against the rules or not and if so I think there should be a category created for runs where a touchscreen is used to help the runner.

Poptropica speedrunning is a very serious topic and I need a resolution.
