Devon,
Yes, I meant "jzopenglutil.ijs" in
~system/classes/opengl .
In the case of tank/helicopter movement I am not
completely sure whether the standard opengl keys are
best because there are no keys (arranged) like the arrow
keys which Alex seems to prefer for the tank/helicopter
control. A tank can only stay on the flat plane, but a
helicopter could go anywhere. Because the simulation was
ultimately named tank.ijs, I suspect the 2D cursor controls
were meant to be easy and that would suggest the arrow keys.
I am too old and unexperienced to know what controls are now
available on game consoles, so maybe someone has another
suggestion that might enable a helicopter control, too. Of
course the W,S and Q,A controls are already helicopterish.
So you can tell I am ambivalent on this. I really like the
helicopter controls, too.
Thanks for asking.d
