GP2X and the Mouse Pointer

[ozziedave]

Hi All,

Could somebody show me how to code for GP2X so that
the Mouse Pointer will show when I compile for GP2X.

Placed a couple of hot spots on a menu, then compiled
but the Mouse Pointer does not show up when the GP2X
is fired up.

Thanks

im not sure if you can use the gp2x's joystick to control the mouse
but you can make a menu that uses the up and down keys to navigate
i've attached an example, it doesn't actually do anything but it shows the mechanics of making some kind of a menu for the gp2x
i did test it on a gp2x as well (with firmware 3.0)

Hi theta,

Tried your Menu test on the GP2X and it works a treat. Still like to know if
a mouse pointer is possible though, but in the meantime i'm using your
Menu idea.

Cheers

I don't see any reason why you couldn't create an actor with a single-frame animation of a mouse pointer and then set up controls to move it with the GP2X joystick.

I agree... You could even use a variable to control it, like when you press "start" everything gets paused except the mouse-control, which due to "if" statements, follows the controls when the game is paused, instead of the player.
