Here we are :

The final teaser video (available, I hope, in a moment) :

It's online!
Great!!! \\^^//

Lol, the trailer for the program is ready!
Now we're just missing another little thing: the program itself.
(no offense)

After watching that, more and more people will be waiting for it. 

Is an underlying POV Hat or D-Pad present beneath the touchpad; either physically or emulated by the firmware? It seems the latter may be in effect already, although I am suspicious of this. If not, is it possible for a secondary application -- one separate from Ndless altogether -- to serve as a keymapper? (Windows' xPadder and freeware JoyToKey are examples of this in the x86 environment) Transmuting the nonstandard "Analogue Stick" to Arrow Keys wields a similar predicament.

How long should it be till this is ready for everyone to use? I would love to be able to put it on my Nspire.

Sry to repeat myself, but since ExtendeD have no incentive to work on the Touchpad arrows (he doesn't have one), do you think we could do this instead:

In the meantime, I think that the number keys may actually be easier to use. But do you think it would be possible to move the down arrow to 5? If you're using one hand, the key in the middle makes it hard to use the keys as a joypad.
So:
....8...
.4.5.6.

8 = up
4 = left
5 = down
6 = right

and then maybe make click "2".

Have any apps other than block dude been compiled with this configuration, so arrows keys work? (i.e., gbc4nspire or nespire)

I don't think it's a good idea to map the arrow keys to the numeric keys at the Ndless level.
(sorry if I've misunderstood)


Some programs are allready using numeric keys for a different purpose (for example mViewer: arrow keys for scrolling the image, numeric keys for moving of a full screen width/height - another example: Nover to select overclocking parameter 1/2/3 - yet another example: Norse which has a main menu with numeric key shortcuts).

Future Ndless programs may use some kind of text input. How would we enter numeric data then ?


I think the best solution is to let each program handling numeric keys as arrow keys by itself when necessary.

While it is only a temporary trick for testing Ndless 2.0 beta, it's not a problem for me.
I can still use Ndless 1.7 or an older Ndless 2.0 beta.

But the final release should not incude such a trick, even if we can't support the touchpad arrows. Just let the programmer choose.

Yes. It only works on 2.0.1 and 2.1.0.
