Today i asked myself if it's possible to play Cogmind with an Joypad.
so i searched for my old one, a very cheap just a digipad with four shoulder-buttons and
these four standart(thumb?-)buttons. googled for an program what brings the keyboard-keys to the pad-buttons. (for win 10 i found and tried joytokey). simple setup the pad and started cogmind.
It is so great that i just want to share this as an alternative controloption.
sure, for the micro-management you still need the keyboard but you need only one hand.
For Example my setup looks like this L1=change target(tab) / L2=.(wait) / R1= Ctrl / R2=shift / X=shoot / []=a / /\=g / ()=alt, for the movement the vi-keys to the 8-way-digicross ...
You see you have just (for example) to press R1 & R2 with the right hand and with the left you can change the parts. ideal for lazy couch potatos.
...now i ask me if it's possible to controll Cogmind by speech.
try it out as an alternative..it's really fun and i am sure that u even can bring the micro-management to the pad/controller when it's better than the crap i tried out.
