Mashed Keys!
Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2013 2:31 am
I've been experimenting with game mechanics and inputs recently. Here's a new experiment.
I call it "mashed keys" because you end up mashing all the keys (this ain't WASD).
It uses the position of the keys relative to a central key (I've used G) to move the player.
It's additive, so if you press P it will move top-right and if you press P and O it will move faster in that direction.
I was thinking it could be used in a game like this: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/copter
It's pretty rough (it will be in a class, it will use angles as opposed to the simple x/y offset, etc.).
Thoughts?
