I finally figured out how to track window velocity, so I used user32.dll to forcefully unclick my mouse and shatter the UI as a "punishment".

I remember having to program a trap for double-clicking buttons in an application.
Then I had to implement a penalty for triple-clicking.
Later, I converted it to a progressive incremental penalty.
Incremental penalties are the way! I see you’re also a student of the 'Hostile UX' school of design. Shaking the window is basically the ultimate progression of button spam—once you exceed the velocity threshold, the UI simply quits on you. ψ(｀∇´)ψ
