Motion Control on upcoming Rainway for Switch and mobile #188

Closed InvictusApollo closed 5 years ago

InvictusApollo commented 6 years ago

There are two biggest pros of Nintendo Switch: it's handheld and that you can aim using motion control. I've used it most in Splatoon 2 and I consider it greater fun than any mouse. Thus I would like to suggest new functionality for upcoming Rainway on Switch and mobile devices (Android). Switch, phones and tablets all have a motion sensor. It is probably better on Switch. Nevertheless Rainway should allow its users to use it. If you need an example of how to implement it, please have some fun in Splatoon 2. I for example set motion sensor sensitivity on maximum, sit in a rotating chair and rotate around to aim. Thus motion control functionality should have a slider to set sensitivity. Furthermore one of the buttons should be bindable to centering the camera and resetting motion sensor. I hope you add this awesome functionality and I will be able to play my favorite games aiming with motion sensor.

You would have to be playing a game that already has that as an option and on top of that, it would require emulating a motion control sensor. Cool Idea in concept but that would be super hard to get working well

"You would have to be playing a game that already has that as an option" - Not really. Motion sensor input can be converted to mouse input. I think it has already been accomplished here: https://github.com/mfosse/JoyCon-Driver
