Support / Re: Tablet support?
« on: January 03, 2009, 11:57:51 pm »
So I read this thread, and tried the SDL file linked here with the demo on my Dell Latitude XT tablet PC, and it worked pretty well. Instead of single clicking on menus and things to click them, I had to double tap them with the pen. In order to double click (for example to pull up the world map), I had to quadruple tap with the pen.
I figured this was fine, a slight inconvenience, but entirely fine. But now, I've bought the game and progressed further with it. To revert back to normal form you need to tap left and right on the mouse at the same time, which is entirely impossible with the pen. Its a shame, because otherwise, the game plays great with it. (Unfortunately too, the Dell comes with a two button pen. One button is hard coded to erase, since there isn't an eraser at the opposite end like the Wacom pens generally have.)
It really is too bad there's no official support, it really seems like the perfect control method for this game.
