Hey Lindsay, The mouse controls turning to aim left and right in Swamp. A one finger swipe on your trackpad to either the left or right will do the same thing as moving a physical mouse across whatever surface you're resting it on. If you're a newbie to aiming with a mouse, I'd start off by using the keyboard commands to snap to the nearest 45 degrees and use your trackpad to aim from there. Eventually, some people get to the point where they hardly touch the keyboard for actual navigational purposes, but it's all subjective, you'll find the balance that gets you around in the game over time.
Download swamp, fire up the custom map for practicing offline, and spend a bit of time wandering around and aiming at zombies with the trackpad. If you die on the custom maps, you don't lose anything that you've worked for, so take as long as you need to explore and get the hang of killing nasties. There's a knack to it, but you'll probably pick it up pretty quickly if you use the keyboard commands to get you facing roughly the right way and then the trackpad for the final adjustment to make your shot. The link to grab the latest version is here: http://www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/Swamp.zip Depending on how many buttons your trackpad has and what they're like to work with, you might want to do a little remapping in the keyconfig.ini file, but we can cross that bridge when you come to it if you get stuck. Hth, let us know how you're getting on.
