Enhancements
Things I would like to see: Ability to create various control configurations and be able to cycle through them with a button. Ability to minimize the program to system tray. A different keyboard. I think the on screen keyboard is okay, but there are many that I would rather use out there. Steam's keyboard is pretty popular, maybe something like that.
Now I would like to ask why the program needs someone to hit enter to start it. I'm currently trying to make a keyboard and mouse less system, and it would be great if I could just start up the computer and everything be good to go. Right now I have to plug in the keyboard to hit enter, and then I unplug it. If it is only to make sure that I have the controller plugged in, then I would like to see an option without the enter screen. I hope that you will look into these things for me and see if they interest you and/or are possible to add in the near future. Thank you for your work with the program, and I look forward to seeing new versions!
I have plans for control configurations currently, but I think they'll probably be something custom-bound in an .ini file. As for the minimization, I'd love to do that! I just need a noticeable icon first, so I'll have to add that asap.On-screen keyboards are hard to create, but I suppose a "Gopher Keyboard" would be something worth looking at in the future. I do believe removing the "press enter" and replacing it with a 10-second timer would be a better idea.
I really love the idea of a startup-ready gopher and I'd like to work towards that. If you have any more ideas, feel free to post them in this thread.
I've been trying to implement some volume controls where the user would use the left and right triggers to raise and lower the volume, but it seems that messing with audio in windows is much more difficult than it needs to be. If anyone else wants to give it a shot, my idea was to raise the volume slowly if the right trigger is half pressed, and raise it quickly if the trigger is fully pressed, and vice versa on the left trigger.
