Ship Odyssey: improve direct dragging of hook #62

Closed cdmiller closed 11 years ago

cdmiller commented 11 years ago

In Ship Odyssey (v2013.05.22) it is possible to drag the hook left or right with the mouse, with a hidden handle when over the bottom wheel of the crane. But this is hard to discover and hard to use.

Proposed fixes:

  1. add mouse over effect to make it more obvious that you are in a drag area.
  2. expand drag area to be over center of crane but much larger, covering both wheels plus some generous margin.
  3. fix bug where when hook is on left and you drag right, hook goes the wrong way.
  4. fix bug where when hook is on right and you drag left, hook goes the wrong way.
  5. see if we can get drag amount to better match rotation of wheel so we simulate the feel of dragging more effectively. Sometimes it is close, but not always.
