idk?

ask aeTIos. If you join, then we are gonna be 4 medium-level programmers working in the same project: BLAST!

THis sounds interesting. Are you planning on making it 3d or 2d?

I think 2.5D would be appropriate. 2D would be boring and 3D would be sweet but very hard.

This looks like an interesting project. Maybe if USB programming gets easier, a joystick could be added. (Does usb8x support joysticks?)

As a joystick ever been done on-calc?

I don't know of a game that has done it. I just looked up usb8x, and it says that gamepads work, but most analog usb sticks won't.

What about on-calc, though?

That said I remember using a program a while ago that mapped keyboard keys to a gamepad and used a gamepad with WabbitEmu. It was called JoyToKey or something. It wasn't very practical, though, because arrow movement was absolutely horrible.

Imagine how slow it would be. You'd have to use networking protocols to read the joystick and that's going to slow your game way down, especially since you have to account for the fact that you'll occasionally get bad signals from the line.

Some kind of tech demo would probably be possible to make, but most likely not a full-fledged game.

It would be best with no joystick/gamepad. It would be hard to control when you have to hold the calc with one hand or try looking at it on a desktop while controlling the joystick and the slowdown would make it not worth it. I think the calc keypad is just as fine. We have to remain realistic too.

Anyway, good luck!
