The GKOS Keyboard as a Game Control
 |
The GKOS keyboard can
logically
operate as a simple game control for moving objects to 8 directions.
Other
GKOS characters can also be used depending on the application (Esc,
Enter,
Backspace, Space, Page Up/Down etc). If the games are specially
designed
for this kind of interface the controls can be more versatile and
effective.
The same principle can also be used for pointer (mouse) control in case no other pointing device is available. A special keystroke may be used to activate the 'mouse mode' (SHIFT + 123-ABC), then a command to exit back to keyboard mode (123-ABC). Use A+C keys to left-click and D+F keys (= 'W') to right-click. Logical keystrokes exist for both normal speed (blue) and high speed (blue+grey) movement to 8 directions. |
