It would be nice, if the sliders would somehow work a bit more like Pd's sliders
It actually looks four or five pixels to the left or right of the 1px line, but you're right it's still difficult. I should make it more like Pd and have the option to 'jump' to the value you hit, or have anywhere on the slider itself be sensitive.
I thought about this a bit more: Maybe it would be sufficient if the hit area of the slider's bar would be a bid bigger. "Jump" also probably is cool. But I'm not sure if it really would good if the movement wouldn't stop when the stylus leaves the slider area. The DS is a touchscreen, where the connection between stylus position and screen pointer position probably should be much tighter than on a computer screen where the handling is more indirect. Anybody knows some UI guidelines or best practices for touchscreen interfaces somewhere on the net?
And then I didn't really figure out how the knobs should be used. I just don't manage to move them any more than a quarter turn. I finished "Kirby's Canvas Course" with high scores, so I don't believe I'm too clumsy with the Stylus. ;)
They work by pressing down and then moving left or right. I guess I should make this more intuitive. Do you have any suggestions?
Ah, I thought, movement was either radial or up/down. I didn't even try left/right. It would be interesting to test radial movement. On a computer screen this is horrible of course, but it may work on a touchscreen, see above.
Another widget idea: Multisliders or [table] would be cool.
