For quite some time, I have needed to measure distances on my computer screen. But the only screen rulers I could find on google were either vertical or horizontal, which were not very useful to me. So after about a half hour of searching today, I thought, "Why don't I just make one?" And 15 minutes later it was done.
It's not technically a ruler, but it does measure distances. I am not skilled in the way of graphics, so it is just a console program.
To use it: Run it. Move your mouse over the start. Press left shift. Move your mouse to the end. Press left shift. Then see how far it was.
This has quite a few uses: like calculating the speed of things in videos, or porting games from youtube videos. So have fun measuring.
(Here are the C++ redistributables
x86 and
x64. If you have a 64 bit machine, I believe you have to install both.)
