So.. yeah it works good. Passes time.. Fun to play

but ummm... Is that legal? and did I just score 30 pts?

is there a shortcut to exit when in full screen mode? being able to close it w/o using ctrl-alt-del would be a nice feature if it already does not exist.

anyway, i found the trick to making the most of it. i remapped a logitech dual action gamepad (PS2 style) to make it like modified arcade drive.

the left stick worked well out of the box, but what about the right? it's job is done by the mouse, so i remapped the right stick using the logitech utility to be the mouse when the simulator is run. i also turned down the range to keep it manageable.

i also remapped the following:

(button, command)
1, 1 (triangle tube)
2, 2 (circle tube)
3, 3 (square tube)
6, left click (hold/release tube, hide/center cursor)
9, r (reset game)
12 (right stick button), esc (show cursor)

it runs well with that setup... a fellow member who is a hardcore halo gamer did really well as the controls were similar to halo. i like it as well.

happy gaming!

i decided to use the simulator for an experiment.

i disabled the x axis of my left stick to simulate a 6wd drive system. it was not easy to do anything. it was a struggle to aim. consider this test as food for thought on the mechanum vs 6wd debate. try it yourself and see what happens.

what about the strafing 6wd. I expect to see more of those than the pure 6wd.

[ratdude747]

the discussion i was hearing was pure 6wd.

although the start key minimizes the simulator, it does not allow me to kill it (nothing upon the right click and close method). I still have to use the task manager to kill it.

I apologize for completely overlooking a kill function, I'll add that in to the next iteration. For now Alt+F4 works fine.
And I think I'd have to remap the keys through scripting for controller-specific (360, PS2 style) applications, and I don't have a controller laying around, so I won't be doing that.
Right now I'm trying to integrate an actual robot (one I simply made up) into the game, so hopefully that'll be uploaded shortly. I'm struggling with certain parts of the C# code right now, and slowly getting better.

Pressing the windows key seems minimize the window when it's in full screen mode.
