@richard sorry to ping you but if I submit multiple versions of a game will only the latest one be judged like in previous game jams?

@UnsignedArduino yup! We will make every attempt to make sure we’re judging the latest submission.

I’ve had this idea before but I couldn’t properly make it, but I think it would be cool if you made it an option with your game.

idea:  
so you know how in the simulator you use your mouse to control the accelerometer? you can use this to get the mouse x and mouse y positions based on the acceleromer ax and ay values. so you could technically put a mouse pointer in your game without having to press any buttons

Seems possible but in practice would most likely be extremely inaccurate. I’m pretty sure they want to add mouse support to the editor where you can get clicks and where the mouse is in the canvas. (like with keyboard support as well)

ha! I never actually thought of doing it that way; that would probably work just fine.

However as @UnsignedArduino mentioned we do want to add a mouse extension at some point.

Huh, it actually is pretty decent. (on desktop at least - haven’t tried on phone)

Obviously, there is an offset which (for my smol brain) would take quite a long time to figure out how to get rid of with calibration.
