Hi,

bit of a general point...

how do people tackle the problem of finding directions accurately when
the player is using a joypad. I'll try to explain ... when using
keyboard or joystick, its very easy to exactly point UP or DOWN-LEFT
etc, whereas with a joypad, you press UP, and half the time you wobble
between UP and UP-LEFT and UP-RIGHT.. or is it just me ???
I guess the popular games eg driving games etc. don't have the problem
since they only use LEFT and RIGHT on the actual cross controller.
anyones thoughts would be useful...

Charlie
