"""
This script emulates user interaction by automatically moving the cursor on the screen at predefined intervals.
It serves as a tool for mimicking user activity in scenarios such as preventing system idle timeouts, maintaining application sessions, or testing user interface responsiveness.

Requirements:
    - Python must be installed on the system.
    - The pyautogui library must be installed.
      You can install it using this pip command:

              'pip install pyautogui'

    - The script should be executed on a platform that supports graphical interfaces, such as Windows, macOS, or Linux with X11.

Functions:
    - simulate_activity():
      This function continuously moves the cursor in a tiny square pattern at predefined intervals, effectively simulating user activity.

Usage:
    1. Ensure Python and the pyautogui library are installed on your system.
    2. Download the simulate_movement.py script to a location on your computer.
    3. Open a command prompt or terminal window.
    4. Navigate to the directory where the script is located.
    5. Run the script by executing the command: python simulate_movement.py.
    6. The script will start simulating cursor movement in the background.
    7. To stop the script, press Ctrl+C in the command prompt or terminal window.

Additional Notes:
    - This script is intended for scenarios where it's necessary to prevent system idle timeouts, maintain active sessions, or test user interface responsiveness.
    - Adjustments to the movement step size (MOVEMENT_STEP) and delay (MOVEMENT_DELAY) can be made to customize the behavior of cursor movement.
    - While running, the script does not produce any visible output or indication of activity, making it discreet and suitable for background operation.
