night-vision

Virtual cursor for LXC Containers running X11 display

night-vision demo.webm

Usage

$ ./night-vision {ms}

{ms} Milliseconds delay between cursor iteration, default: 100

# 50-ms delay is fine, 10-100 is probably the expected range
$ ./night-vision 50
# 1-ms delay, uses more CPU resource naturally
$ ./night-vision 1

Building from source

$ g++ night-vision.cpp -o ./build/night-vision -lX11

Compiled release builds

Compiled builds are available for amd64, aarch64 at the moment.

Contributing

Keep CPU cost to minimum on PRs since we are targing ARM.

Python

There is also a python release of night-vision in ./python It uses more CPU resource, but is still viable at 100-ms delay

The ./python directory also includes a poetry virtual environment
