I'm still debating what would be a good control scheme; Descent had 3 shot typesd if I recall right.. flares, shots, and missiles/bombs. Theres also direction (up/down/left/right) for rotation, and then forward/back. I think that covers most of it.

The current old port has the direction and forward/back and shot1, so it lacks shots 2-3; its also awkward.

I don't have a tonne of time, but I figure I can add at least better controls and make Quit work, and maybe make save/load work :P

So .. what to make the controls?

Options are .. look with d-pad, move with thumb on screen, fire with d-pad or thumb.

I've been bouncing this around:

5-way -- look around (up/down/left/right)
One of the hard buttons under d-pad -- fire flair
Screen -- top right to fire weapon 1
Screen -- bottom right to fire weapon 2
Screen -- top half to go forward (top right quarter, not including top right corner)
Screen -- bottom half to go backward (bottom right quarter, not including bottom right corner)

Something like that.

So holdf the device sideways, and play with both hands.. left hand for looking around, and right hand to go forward/back and fire.
