Request for a few changes in s60 version

Post by Djdon »

:P
I have played Flight of the Amazon queen on Nokia 6630 using Scummvm and it plays really well.

There are a few changes that could make it better for me:

1.The screen of s60 2nd ed devices is very small compared to other smartphones hence it would be better if instead of customized rendering of Scummvm Gui it is made simple like most other s60 apps using default symbian menus.

2.To pan in expanded mode it is required to press 0+direction keys,it would be better if user is allower to assign keys to pan in one direction so that only one key is required to be pressed to pan in one direction.

3.The pan keys should have continous panning so that on pressing one pan key the screen keeps on panning in one direction until the key is released .

These changes wil make life easier if incorporated.
Thanks for this wonderful app.
:D

* Customized UI,well if you are talking about ingame UI this is not really what you could do. As for a launcher UI, of course it could be done, but would require a great deal of work to get it running. Right now I am the only one maintaining the Symbian builds, well that is , when it builds that is.

* Usually I would n't play the whole gaming in a zoomed in state anyway, and panning could be optimized, so pan in big chunks instead of 8 pixels at a time. But still PAN keys still have to coexist with any other game keys, (regardless of SDL game).So they should n't conflict.

So this is nothing on the schedule right now, but of course if some one would like to do a S60 launcher , they are free to do so, its open source.
