Ricochet

Anyone with a iPac 2215 having problems with the stylus not being fluid in this game....meaning the little ship was smooth on my axim, but is jerky on my iPac. Please advise.

Hi Pedter,

This one's a tricky problem - it seems like some Pocket PCs handle constant stylus input from the screen better than others, and this becomes especially noticeable in Ricochet, where smooth control is most important :(

Larry spent a LOT of time trying to fix this problem, but unfortunately could only mitigate it, so on a few devices it's still a bit of a problem. Sadly, I don't think there is anything more that could be done to improve the situation, although we do have a 2215 now, and the next time Ricochet is updated I am sure this will be looked into again!

Warmest regards,
Kieren

Thanks for the reply :)

(here's hoping the next update is soon, to my fav AW game...)

I just posted about this problem on the "Makes me mad" board. I guess I should have looked here first.

Folks, I have a 400 MHz Dell Axim X3 which has no trouble at all with smooth stylus input in other applications, including the two other games in this genre which I have tried. (I bought one of them: Tetranoid. The other is Another Ball.) So I know it's possible to do it on the Axim. You need to fix this problem.
