Hi.
congrats on making it up and down, rather reminds me of going up durham cathedral tower. Maybe this is the next edition to towers of war, the very evil step tower! you build it on the path, and it takes the monsters a loooong! time to pass it, by which point they are really tired ;d.
As I have a laser mouse, i'll remember to be careful, afterall, if I went blind I couldn't play computer games anymore (you asked for that one).
As regards mouse movement, i actually knew the bit about keeping the buttons at the top, but I stil found it actually quite an odd movement to keep the mouse stil and just move my hand around, in fact quite often I'd slant the mouse. i suppose this is because the basic mouse design has writing with a pen somewhere in it's ancestry, where obviously you keep the pen steady and move your hand, but obviously writing with a pen this way is fairly alien to me, ---- people tell me my signature looks like chinese, though i usually take this as a complement, ---- pluss it is unforgeable ;d.
I do really like the audio map idea though. Rather reminds me of an old geometry program we had at school which used to represent graph lines with a sound, so for instance the x = y line wuld make a sound from bottom to top rising in pitch, and the X = minus Y would make one going down in pitch while X squared which curvedup and down would make a dip down low then rise up again, ---- appologies if I got my lines mixed up, while I liked algebra, geometry was neve my strong point, i'd always just rather have the equation than the liniar representation, ---- though sinse I haven't studdied any science or logic for quite a while my algebra is probably also rusty ;D.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
