Hi, Shaun. Snip: how do you play with a mouse. where do you click on the screen. End snip
As far as games goes the mouse operates no different from a joystick. Have you ever played with SOD with a gamepad or joystick? Well, it would work the same with a mouse. In fact, they are great game controllers no matter if you are blind or not. I imagine the only thing James had to do is to keep tracking the mouse to absolute axis values and not let the mouse wander to every possible direction. As far as targeting goes the 3D environment helps you direct it to the sound source to fire your weapon, and a scope or other sound cue would help as well. In case, you think James North is nuts I will confess I was conciddering supporting the mouse in some of my future titles after STFC as well. As it is a game controller that is rarely used by the blind, but could be. Let's think a little more people. We all want to be more like sighted gamers, or did we just give up? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Fair play? Video games influencing politics.
