we've officially decided that a combination of mouse and keyboard play would be best for the game, now we need to decide what kind of controls we will have. here is the first round of options and their features:
- "Analog Mouse"
- mouse is aimed in circle on screen to determind speed and direction
- keys are used to perform robot actions
- "Mouse Follower"
- robot aims itself in direction of mouse pointer on floor.
- robot actions are performed by clicking on the object, robot will automatically perform the corresponding action
- pausing, and choosing between multiple mouse actions from a menu in some circumstances would be doen through the keyboard
- "Voodoo Mouse"
- drive of robot is operated through keyboard
- a second model of the robot is located in a box in one corner of the screen, which always corresponds with the one on the field.
- players can click on servo-type mechanisms on this model to move them on the field model
- players can click and drag arms and other parts of the bot that have many different possible positions.
- players can rotate the model to reach all mechanisms
