Added new n64 layout #122

Closed SMSourov closed 3 months ago

SMSourov commented 3 months ago

The old layout was a bit difficult to play n64 games. So, I created a new modern n64 layout. It contains both portrait and landscape layouts. Moreover, I moved the contents of the old layout to the "old" folder.

This looks good. Should the switch-to-dpad button be a tiny dpad instead of reusing the tiny analog stick?

SMSourov commented 3 months ago

I think I can put a smaller dpad but in portrait mode only. There is enough room in portrait mode but not enough room in landscape mode. Doing that in a separate merge request would be a good idea. From what I understand by seeing the n64 controller, if a game uses the dpads, it will use the dpad throughout the whole game. Same goes for the analog stick. That's why I put them in separate layout. Kindly let me know your opinion. I'll adjust myself to that.

I was referring to this little guy here: image I agree that you don't need them at the same time.

I don't think that would be a good idea. There is a high possibility that the player would accidentally touch the joystick.

I'm talking about the icon used to switch layouts, not the layouts themselves. It could be confusing to press a button that looks like the analog stick to switch to the dpad when you could make the icon look like a dpad when appropriate instead.

That is, while the analog is onscreen, the icon can look like a tiny dpad. Then, if you press it, and the dpad replaces the analog stick, the icon can look like an analog stick.

Does that make sense?

Now I get what you are trying to say.

If I'm not wrong, you wanted these modifications.

Yes, looks great, thanks!
