d-pad

i'm not telling people what to do, it's just a suggestion. 

when you play psp games you dont use the mouse arrow thingy to select what you want to do. why dont people do that in flash games? for example,if youve played the flash game in the cirb with rob and big then you should know what im talking about.instead of navigating through the menu of a flash game with the arrow, why not use the d-pad?

again, this is just a suggestion. im not trying to be bossy, this aint even my site.

Re: d-pad

Because it is more work for the coder.

It changes a 3 line code to 6+ maybe even reaching 10+

Depending how you code it.

Re: d-pad

It's really a matter of choice...  It's really not much coding at all so it's not the reason.

That's not too bad... it's a nice idea I guess. It won't alter the speed, compatibility or feel of the game. They did it with Rob & Big which had tonnes of other stuff crammed in aswell and the filesize was still low after they made an effort to keep it down.

Still it takes more effort.

Re: d-pad

No offense but 10 extra lines of code is nothing...
I've done 600+ lines of fresh code in a few hours...
It really does not take much effort to add things like that it's either laziness or a matter of preference.
