after mouse (touchpen) support is implemented I could start playing this game  Grin  (damn, first I was happy fiddling this to work on a Pearl VX-35 easy, after the first click came the error ^^)

I would  Kiss the humans making this possible and donate them some BEEEER !

Mouse support would be great for controlling the Orz turret. Other than that, I don't think it would be much of an improvement.

It would sertainly help on a device without a keyboard, though, which I think is what he's getting at here.

Or have him drive off the road while playing SC II on his navigator. Seriously, what. I get that porting to many different platforms is important, but when can playing this game on a navigator for your car ever be more useful than on your phone or computer?

Maybe he doesn't have a smartphone. Though frankly, if that's the case, he should get a Pandora for his gaming needs. Wink

Why would you game on a phone anyway, when you can do it on a proper computer?

Phones are more portable. Same goes for the Pandora or a hacked PSP.

I really don't think this game is very well suited to a phone, though.

What if you had an iControlPad? Tongue

I've got it installed on my smartphone, Android version. And I agree, maneuvering really isn't very easy. I can't even hit planets properly. Though that might be my lack of console experience. But if you have a proper d-pad or such I think it'd be a lot easier and ight be fun for a long trainride or similar.

Like I said, iControlPad. It's a bluetooth controller that attaches to your phone for gaming controls. You might want to check it out.

Of course, I don't know if the Android port of UQM can make use of it or not.

Meh, I'm a casual enough gamer that peripherals don't really excite me.
