Tablet Better Alternative Controls?

Post by Harakiri »

Hi,

im wondering - is there another scummvm version with an alternative input method? I just tried 1.4.1 on the galaxy pad 2 and im looking for something like this:

1. You dont have to "drag" the cursor -where ever you tap - the mouse cursor automatically goes!
2. You can just tap on the actions (Give,Pick up etc) and then use it on the next spot you tap - no need to move the mouse around either.

This might obviously not work fine for all games, but for indy4 and such it will.

(I cant believe nobody has done something like this yet)

That sounds like a really useful mode. But I have the feeling it's the "direct mode" described here: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Android#Touchscreen
