Ramp & Roll, skeeball arcade game - get your free copy today!
RPO R6V:
I must be doing something wrong. I can start a game, but I can't get a ball to roll up the ramp no matter how I spin my trackball or which button or joystick I press or move. Also, in the menu for key mapping, when I double-click on a selection to try to change its mapping, nothing happens. Any ideas?
Le Chuck:
Love the vid, awesome stuff. Tracks sound sweet too, love the funk.

Well, there are a few things that might cause these problems.
If you can move the ball but there's not enough power, press P and up the sensitivity of the Y axis. You want it to be sort of capable of flying up and hitting the top cage but only at full speed.
If you can't move the ball, perhaps your trackball isn't set up as a mouse and is instead put on an encoder or something? Currently the game is set up to work with mouse input for movement.
If your buttons are on a keyboard encoder then they should work. I will add gamepad encoder input to the list of things to add to the game, and maybe over the xmas holidays implement it. Shouldn't be too difficult!
If you can't change the keyboard inputs with a keyboard... I dunno.
I have a new version to upload tomorrow afternoon with some new fixes I added the other day. If it isn't too much work I will add gamepad input as well! We'll see how much free time I end up with!
RPO R6V:
Thanks for the reply! I'm using an old SlikStik control panel with trackball so I don't think it uses an encoder (?) but I can't move the ball whatsoever.

Hmmmmmm. Well I haven't had any time to work on it today, but I will much around with it and hopefully come up with a working solution for you over the holidays!
