An idea to think on

Post by Gremnon »

I came up with a (possibly) interesting idea, but i suspect that it might mean a lot of (re)coding.
But I know nothing of coding, so I'll lay my idea out for you to work on:
Rotating the game view 90 degrees.

Has been suggested loads of time. Too much work.

When playing the game, pick up your monitor and lay it on its side. Viola - the game is now ninety degrees turned from original. And if you turn it in the same direction again, or turn it twice from its original position, then you can envision yourself playing in Australia (since they are upside-down).

Everything wouldd need redrawing for the other angle (i think) and then there is the whole coding thing.

Oh well. As I said, I know nothing of coding, so I didn't know. And I was a little short on time when I posted, and didn't have the time to run a search.
Besides, I would have forgotton otherwise.
