For most of the first person shooters a mouse is very essential at least for me. I guess its because I am not used to console games. Good thing BT HID support won't be so hard on the N900.

I'm more worried about the usability. Do you have any plans or ideas to make the controls easier, so it gets on par with PC game which utilizes keyboard & mouse?
However, if your playing against other players who don't have an external mouse it would give you a pretty big advantage...
P.S. Posting from the bus on my way to the summit now. I'll have better connectivity there.

Any chance of having the cap as an option, if i were playing it it would likely be near a power source such as on a long train.

Hmm, in some previous games there was no difference between Y axis aiming. These games didn't require a mouse. Stuff like Doom.

Just to let you know, the package has now been sent to the autobuilder a few minutes ago... So assuming no problems, it should be available soon.
Honestly, I'm not deliberately trying to tease you all.

The package has been successfully compiled by the autobuilder, but it might take some time before it shows up in extras (and you need to click the update button on the Application Manager.)
Some more creative users have found the link already but will need to manually install the dependencies. e.g. libgles1.

Also there are still a couple of bugs, the main one at the moment is the menu requiring double taps... I'll try to get it sorted out as soon as I have time.
Btw, useful key combos:
Fn (Blue Arrow) + Ctrl/Sym = Open/Close console.
Fn + = (Next to backspace) = Esc key.
Our keyboard is a bit limited with only 3 rows so I had to be a little creative here.

FYI, you should probably wait for ioquake3_1558-maemo2 (rather than maemo1) as I accidentally forgot the autoexec.cfg in maemo1. The game will still run if you start it manually, but you won't get nice defaults.

cheers, if i recall it was pretty easy to change the mouse binding in quake so ill have to have a play with the accelerometer once the n900 finally ships. how it is exposed in linux is another matter but it sounds like hacking time, sods law the n900 will likely ship 2 days before i have a month long testing program at work.
