Answer 1

Hi,

You can create a userform that has controls that you can capture mouseup, mousedown, and mousemove events. So it's possible to know when the mouse is moved and where the cursor is with respect to the control.

To do this you need to learn how to program PowerPoint using its built-in programming language, Visual Basic for Applications.

There's a link in the Sources section to get you started.

As someone has said, PowerPoint is for presentations. The best you can do is to set up your custom animations. right click on the car, down to custom animations. When the side pane opens right, click on Add Effect, then chose Motion Paths and then Custom path and draw your line around the slide. when you play the show the car will be moving along the line you drew.

You can't do this in Powerpoint. Slideshow mode is for, well, showing slides, not playing games.
