I thought that would be trivial. If I recall correctly DOOM can be controlled in two ways: accelerometers or TS. When controlling with the TS you constantly press down on the TS with a finger, and "tilt" your finger to the direction in which you want to move. Found an example of it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNVhLmC4RhM zooming in could be done by tilting the finger forward zooming out by tilting the finger backwards maybe i'm overlooking something here... to make it work good in a webbrowser (which is filled with clickable object like links) the "click event" should occur on "finger up" though, not on "finger down" _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
