No, there is aimbot. Off-screen clicking is firing using the proximity sensor.

Ah, got it! Quite an interesting use of that feature. A poor-mans multi-touch!

This would be useful for toggling clicks between two states (ie. scrolling/panning vs manipulation).

Thanks for the vid! I look forward to more! ;)

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I noticed the same two problems with single player Quake 3 that mikkov noticed with single-player OpenArena.

- Engaging bots in a fight caused the game to slow to almost a slideshow
- Screen blanking still occurs if you don't use the touchscreen

Also, I don't like the look-via-touchscreen method, my finger is always in the way.

But otherwise it seems really good. The most impressive demo for the device so far (even better than Bounce ;) )

Did anyone just say urban terror?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

One reason I laugh at these devices with games, without keyboard, with input method finger touchscreen, ouput method same touchscreen.

However the impact of using a stylus in this case might be less than using finger. Have you tried with stylus?

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

One feature I could implement is offset aiming. You would use your finger on the left/right of the screen so that it's not obscuring your center view, but still aim as if you were in the center... This, along with less agressive auto-aim might be quite nice...

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

I've been thinking. The touch screen does not need to handle horizontal looking. You can turn your whole body by tilting instead. Just implement up-down looking using the touch screen, and make it so you can use your finger anywhere to do it (eg, the far left or right of the screen).

Hi guys,
I saw Quake III running nicely on N900 during the Maemo summit..
Unfortunately I'm not a big fun of Quake III arena, but I really love Tremulous.

Is someone trying to port it to N900? It's make use of Quake III engine but it's a free
opensource game.

For more information about it check http://tremulous.net/

Re: Quake 3 on N900
 

This is a nice idea. I think I'll spend some time tonight and implement it, if I'm not working too late. :p Should be simple to do, though. Thanks.
