Description
I played a lot of Valorant and got mad, so I made an aim trainer that analyzes your raw crosshair movement to explore your raw motor and perceptual weaknesses instead of scoring scenarios. It also chooses sens and difficulty as part of the tasks, and makes playlists that are optimal difficulty for you to learn and progress faster!

Could you build this?
Partial While basic 3D aiming scenarios are easy to vibe-code with Three.js or Babylon.js, real-time mouse telemetry analysis, adaptive difficulty algorithms, and sub-millisecond input handling require deeper domain knowledge in game loops and motor-perceptual analytics.
What it would actually take: The app requires a WebGL/WebGPU engine (Three.js or custom shaders), Pointer Lock API with raw input integration to bypass OS mouse acceleration, and precise timestamping (performance.now()). The hard part is the motor control modeling engine: computing kinematic metrics (path curvature, jitter, overshoot, velocity profiles) and dynamically generating target trajectories and difficulty plateaus via Bayesian optimization or adaptive psychometric algorithms.
Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Valorant aim training, Dark Souls III style target lock, Quake 3 competitive aiming
Concerns raised: Choppy cursor movement in Firefox and Chrome on Mac, Moving click exercise not comparable to actual gameplay, Too much unnecessary text and microcopy in UI, Unclear if gamepad aiming can achieve real competitive results, Doesn't distinguish flick errors from tracking errors
Feature requests: Right mouse button to escape calibration (in addition to ESC), Easier recalibration without going through full setup again, Personalized improvement suggestions based on movement patterns, Ability to dial in custom 360 sensitivity settings, Open source the code

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a hardware & robotics tool for Horizontal yet.
