lol on my desktop I can use voice commands (not that I use it that much), with Dragon Naturally Speaking. On Zodiac if I have my hotkeys set I can say the letter.. but not as fun as saying 'LIGHTING BOLT!!'

Yea I used it on iclassic one day but its no good with movement. Good for rc though.

Can you use an "analogue" thing like this rather than the four directional arrows?

Although I like that idea, I can't say I've had the best experience with those type of controls. Usually I've found that on the iPod, the simpler the better. That's just my opinion though.

You absolutely can, we used something like that on Era iPhone when I was in charge and frankly, it was a lot nicer than the virtual keys now (although we had some stuff in the gun system for strafing that made it viable).

Yep. I look at the directional buttons and they don't look very friendly for diagonal movement, and they cover up more screen real estate than a single analogue with a transparent directional ring.

How much real estate it takes up has nothing to do with analog vs directional, but how large they make the button. In the end though it's all analog and simple snaps your player to a direction(since it just reads where your thumb is from the center).

[redsoxsrule424]

To solve the button problem perhaps the app could also allow you to set the transparency, size and position? It works for other applications.

Voice command functions would work best for movement.

Your on a bus playing iZodiac.

"LEFT!"
"RIGHT!"
"DOWN!"
"LEFT!"

That'd be cool. Yell out random commands in public. Macro in random voice commands to activate a spell.

I'd set fireball to fire when I say "Oops I pooped my pants". That way when Im in public I could yell "OOPS I CRAPPED MY PANTS" and kill a noob. Who cares if people stare.
