SpaceDancer V1.00 S60v5


The game idea was a simple derivative of 'guitar hero' or 'DDR' whereby you press a button or buttons along with the music.

The two major problems with this idea on this specific platform are:

1) Button layout, the buttons need to be in an easy to reach location , but also that will not require the phone to be shifted around to reach other keys. also when pressing the buttons its important that the main game play area is not obscured by the players hands.

2) most touchscreen devices are still only single touch capable. this severely reduces the number of button presses available. unlike a traditional keypad which allows for combos.

Both of these issues have been overcome as you can see in the video. The game is very early on in design but the underlying technology is the real product that I'm showcasing.

True Multitouch?
Sounds like a new term.....


@Teknokid
I found that it requires a hard press. May be it is fixed in later versions.
So it means multitouch functionality is available on resistive screens too.......in the so called FAKE way 

[soooooil]

If you touch two points, the screen feels pressing exactly between them.



Understand, where the real buttons are located?

its just my thought, im not sure

[shahood]

Dint get whatever u said 


Nice avatar btw!

[soooooil]

try to touch the screen between two different buttons


thx

[rooholamin]

it's very easy, just tap on the middle of buttons, and it will press 2keys.

That's a good idea, but the multitouch title is a bit fake

anyway, tnx

thx

Ya now I got it.

But whats the point in it  

[cybertron]

If you touch two points, the screen feels pressing exactly between them.

maybe you know - is it possible for the screen to determine the width of the input. like in this app: it doesn't matter if i click between the two buttons or tap both of them, the input is always cought at the same point. but in my first example the input is spread over the display.
u know what i mean?

sorry for my english ;-)

Interesting how people cheat the game.

[shahood]

I still am unable to figure out why it is being called 'cheating'

[sobhi]

its a fake it illusion when u press at 2 circles ur pressing at the area between them

[shahood]

But the point is does the system understand clicking of both buttons at da same time?

[tirim4]

^No it doesn't, when you click two buttons at the same time, the phone recognices the point between them, so in a way it do recognise it, but what we really do is making the phone belive that we touch between the buttons when we really touch the two buttons as described earlier in this thread.

Try any resistive touch screen gadget with a paint app or something and try paint with both your fingers, you will notice that it starts painting between your fingers.

This is so confusing. I cant simply understand this rocket science.
If it recognises da center point only when we tap on both buttons at da same time, it means it understands multitouch input. This is how I see it.

This game uses that trick.  But if you actually needed to click on 2 points, it wouldn't work.  Imagine a simple example:  If you had a game that u needed to run and fire at the same time, it would only recognise one of them (or run or fire).  This is a limitation for more complex games or apps.
