If you play Starcraft 2, and you play Zerg, you probably know about the hotkeying your hatch and your queen to the same key and the double tapping the hotkey, hitting X or V (X if you're using Grid layout), then clicking, then double tap the next hotkeyed hatch/queen pair, X, click, etc. (if you don't you really need to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74i2ILf70mk )
This allows you to spawn larve very quickly, but you still need to remember to do this again in 40 seconds... no sooner, and ideally no later. Keeping this up is key to good macro.
I've got a very rudimentary program, it's basically a keylogger that runs int he background. I have it setup to listen for the exact combination 55x (it also responds to double 6-8 followed by x, or if you uncheck the grid option it'll listen for v instead of x), then in 40 seconds (and hitting 55x again won't reset the timer) it plays a sound.
I'm going to be improving on this program, it's pretty basic right now with only the grid key setting (and only 5-8 hotkeys). I'm planning on improving it, but any feedback as to what is important I'll take into consideration.
I was going to make a nuke launch timer, but I realized something even better, which I still need to research (and may be able to replace spawn larve with), I want to change my sounds from "Nuclear Launch Detected" to ... "Nuclear Launch Detected .... 10 ... 5 4 3 2 1"
Anyway here's the larve reminder if you thing it'll help you. I attached the Windows Exclamation sound, it's not the best, you can replace it (just rename your file to "Windows Exclamation.wav" in the same folder as the exe)
