I desperately need to get my Centipede cab done. It has been way too long. Quick recap - Rotating monitor (manual), and two control panels (trackball, and joystick one). Using Windows 98. So this is what I'm thinking. When the cab starts up, a full screen pic (see below) prompts the user to select the configuration of the monitor. Then a second screen is displayed for the user to select the control panel being used (there will need to be a vertical and horizontal version of this image and the correct one would be displayed as a result of the first screen). Then, based on the selection, Kymaera will start up with the correct orientation and game lists (would I have 4 installs of Kymaera?) I really don't know. The building I can do no problem. The computer stuff... not so much. Any thoughts? |

Are you planning to run in a Windows environment? If yes, one idea/approach would be using a browser window full screen displaying an image with an image map and then execute CGI. |

Why not a single prompt: 1) Vertical with joysticks 2) Vertical with trackball 3) Horizontal with joysticks 4) Horizontal with trackball You could have a small picture of each of the four options. --Burke |

I just need to be able to do it, and I need it to work and be relatively self-explanitory when it runs. |
