Project Arcade Control Panel
« on: September 11, 2005, 05:11:28 pm »
Hello,

On page 380 in the book there is a picture of the Project Arcade control panel in figure 15-13.  I'm wondering about the three buttons above the trackball.  If you are using the three buttons with the trackball for a game such as missile command do your hands clash with each other making it hard to play the game?

Thanks

I placed those there for mouse control (left, middle, right buttons) -- I would not use them for game play for the very reason you mentioned.

Then I imagine you used the second players buttons for game play.
Isn't that a little far to reach?
Or is it comfortable?

Thanks
