Title: CP Design - Flame On
Post by: ThePaul on August 07, 2003, 02:23:38 am

Hi,

Take a look at my initial CP design and rip me to shreds please.

Thanks in advance for the painful, yet constructive criticism.

Um...WHERE'S THE STAR WARS YOKE!!!

Sorry, not real good at the whole flamming thing.  :-\

Seriously though, it looks OK to me. Maybe someone else wants to fire you up but it won't be me--I like simple.

I would straighten out the joysticks and buttons instead of having them at an angle, but that may just be a personal preference.  I think it is easier to control straight joysticks.

Also, you may want to move the joystick and buttons above the trackball, although it looks like they are almost far enough away to not be much of a bother

There isa three button group to the left or right of the trackball.  That is how it orks on my CP.

It's two player and you have less than 8 buttons per player.  Compared to some of the freaks on here this is the best cp layout ever! ;)

Needs a spinner, but otherwise it looks fine to me.

I concur.
I would add a third button just under the two central joystick buttons however.
