You don't point it at any screen. It works the same as how your phone detects how you're holding it. Three axis to play with... I'm going to assume it has a compass in it of sorts because when you hold it parallel to a table, you can tilt it back and front, left and right, AND it detects turning as if you have a steering wheel sticking out of your table. I haven't played enough games to get used to the gyro yet, and when I tried it, it's annoying that the game I tried it with, left with two usable buttons to really use it. Don't want to use that unless you're aiming after all. --- |

Strictly speaking I think that a "gyroscope" is able to detect rotations in any direction (including rotating horizontally on the y axis, as a compass needle might). So that much makes sense. I just fail to understand how this is supposed to be better to control a game whose view port is 2 dimensional and a mere sliver of the 3D space in the game world. Necessarily either you turn away from the view port or your motion is constrained preventing you from using the gyro for full control. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Elias said: There's still a chance it gets locked before that... I'm not sure that would happen. May be the forum thread counter will overflow before that. Actually we're testing Matt's programming skills right now. ----------------- |

Are we even close to a record in terms of number of posts yet? --- |

I believe I recall thousand-post threads in the past so we probably aren't close to the record in terms of post count yet, but I suspect we're getting close in terms of length of time open (unless maybe they didn't automatically close in the beginning). -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

You know... if Gideon's post is #657, then the posts are zero based... but the Post of the Devil number is using a one base numbering system... so post #665 is the Post of the Devil? --- |

Oates post is #661. You're off by one because you're not counting the OP. Gideon was reply #657. If you're going to nitpick, at least do it right. Still not it.

Hell, I would have loved to be the devil. But I can't let the thread die "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

Not it!! That would be funny if the thread died because nobody wanted to be #666. -- |

Ha! This is the first time I've seen this thread. I never look in this section of the forums. I feel I've been missing out. ------------ |

Whatever the source of that image is, it looks REALLY poorly made. --- |

Thank you for ^ that.
