Pocket PC controls

[trajecto]

Is there a table showing what controls correspond between Pocket PC and PC?

For example the controls in Moon Defender are:

Right ctrl: shot
Spacebar: jump
Left/right Arrows: move
Mouse: controls the aim of the cannon.


What are the corresponding Pocket PC controls?

Thanks!

Hey, I'm looking for that too!

There is no fixed table.

Go to the "Game Properties" panel and, in "PocketPC keys" list, you can assign your pocket pc keys. For example:

Pocket Up -> Up
Pocket Down -> Down
Pocket Left -> Left
Pocket Right -> Right
Pocket A -> right ctrl
Pocket B -> space

So, when your user hit "Pocket A" key your game will receive a "space bar" key.


You can let user to define game keys with getLastKey and remapKey functions.

Mouse will be mapped into pocket pc touch screen.

Thanks Makslane,
I am beginning to get it.

It is definitely nice to be able to re-assign keys also. For example let's say you want to create a Landscape style game as opposed to Portrait. You'd hold the Pocket PC sideways but pressing up would really be a right arrow keypress by default.

So to re-assign everything to work properly in Landscape mode, for right-handers (buttons on the right):
1. Select 'Game properties"
2. Select "PocketPC Keys"
3. Select "Pocket Up" then select "left arrow" on the desktop keyboard and select "Set Key"
4. Select "PocketPC Keys"
5. Select "Pocket Down" then select "right arrow" on the desktop keyboard and select "Set Key"
6. Select "PocketPC Keys"
7. Select "Pocket Left" then select "down arrow" on the desktop keyboard and select "Set Key"
8. Select "PocketPC Keys"
9. Select "Pocket Right" then select "up arrow" on the desktop keyboard and select "Set Key"
10. Select "OK"

All the Pocket PC directional controls should be set for Landscape mode.


How does that sound???

That's Ok, but will work better with built in support to landscape mode.
I will work in this feature.
