It has too small resolution for direct use, you can however calculate pointer acceleration. There is my PC-Joy driver (and calibration program) for GEOS out there. (ftp.elysium.pl/gnu-generation/YTM/ I think) It was definietly the most comfortable input device for me. What makes me wonder is the difference between lightpen and lightgun. Is there any besides the shape? [Uz] > Any ideas how paddles could be supported within the cc65 library? Can we map > the API to one of the already existing ones, or do we need a new one? I think it should be separated or joystick API should be extended. Two reasons: - when treated like digital joystick we lose information - paddles may need calibration; AFAIK the real paddles don't need it but the real paddles were new a long time ago. An analog joystick always needs calibration. (lightpen needs calibration too) ytm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
