Possible to make mouse pointer your actual finger?

Post by Skippydishies »

Playing on a new Android tablet, why does the mouse pointer not line up with your finger, instead of just using the whole screen like a super sized track pad?
Can it be changed to how the apple os works. Where my finger is is the pointer.

Because it would be unplayable on phones otherwise.

Yes. When you start the game, before it even enters the main menu, there's a splash screen, and at the top there should be a bar labeled "change configuration". Clicking it opens a menu, where you can fiddle with the mouse emulation and turn it of.

Interesting idea. People could play wesnoth while riding on the subway. :D

Personally I stick with oldschool - large monitors and a comfy chair. :P

Ah! I have fat fingers though - it's very hard to use my fingers on a screen. I am so used
to the mouse nowadays...
