An Idea for ZDoomZ / ZQuakeZ / ZHexenZ

[chronoserpent]

I was just wondering if it would be possible to use the stylus to look, like a mouse on a PC. Dragging the stylus across the screen makes you look in that direction. For a better idea of what I'm saying, play the demo of Metroid: First Hunt for the Nintendo DS. Using the stylus like that seems very fluid and accurate, and works well enough for a commercial FPS, so why not these?

I think that's an EXCELLENT idea! Although *not* for Doom or Hexen. Why? Because Doom and Hexen were made to not have to look up and down. I don't know if these ported engines have enhanced 3D ability, but the original doom didnt require looking up and down.

But for Quake, hell yea!

I think the stylus must be enabled to use as a pointing device even on ZDoomZ, it's true that it's pointless to use the stylus to look up/down in ZdoomZ... but for turning will be excellent!!! 'cause it would be a better gaming experience to use the hard buttons to shot, move foward, move backwards, strafe left/right... and the stylus to turn left/right. ;D

That would give you a better performance in game.

I'll (try to) add this feature to Zduke3D.
