>>  Hi all,
>>  I am currently working on a new racing game which uses a combination
>> of
>> the mouse and keyboard to control your vehicle.
>>  The mouse is used like an accelerator pedal, so you push up for more
>> acceleration, pull back for less, and you shift with the left and right
>> mouse buttons.
>>  The name of the game is Rail Racer, and as the name implies, you are
>> racing along a single rail against your opponents on their own rails,
>> kind
>> of like a multi track roller coaster.
>>  To turn through track curves, you hold down the D key on your keyboard
>> to
>> deactivate your vertical stabilizers, so you can lean your racer with
>> the
>> mouse.  The skill here comes in properly timing your lean so you enter
>> the
>> turn with the right amount of lean, and exit the turn as you straighten
>> up,
>> the better your timing, the higher your speed out of the turn.
>>  I bring up these examples of control to get players' feedback on using
>> the
>> mouse.
>>  What are your thoughts on using the mouse as a controller? Would you
>> rather have keyboard control, or the option for keyboard control?
>>  Personally, I really like piloting the racer with the mouse, I feel
>> like I
>> am in more control of the vehicle, and it is therefore more fun.
>>  Anyhow, I need the communities opinion on this, so let me know what ya
>>
>> think, good, bad or indifferent.
>>  Also, to those that have offered their services as beta testers, I
>> appreciate the offers, and will be getting back to you as I near beta
>> stage.
>>  Thanks,
>>  Che
