I don't get the point to the pointer pointer, I'd point out it can't find my pointer but I think that was the point of the pointer *pointer's joke?

Those who read and follow the simple instructions on the screen will experience the full enjoyment of the pointer pointer. No knowledge of programming languages required -- in fact that might be an impediment to said enjoyment as demonstrated above.

Other than the special shape grid I don't find it that exciting, I think nearly the same effect could be achieved by simply loading the x/y/source into a simple array and then doing closest match on mouse up.

All I got was an endless loading screen, no instructions, no nothing.

It took me a couple reloads to get it to load properly. Once it was, it shows a loading/waiting animation which if you move your mouse and then stop, it'll load an image.
