+ microphone / mouse wheel controlled flash game

[nalin]

hey

just finished a small flash game that gets controlled via microphone or mouse wheel.


- the website should always fit your browser window so just resize it to get a new challenge/difficulty
- right-click anywhere for various options

+ PLAY | microphone controlled flash game (http://audiotennis.nalindesign.com)

how do you like it?

thanks in advanced for your feedback.

I think you really have to make the instructions clearer, because as of now, I have no idea how your Pong esque like game works.

Sorry to disappoint you.

I can't seem to use my mouse wheel... The browser resizing idea is cool but I still can't play it without a mic.

edit:

I somehow managed to get the scroll wheel working by randomly clicking around. But I found one bug. When I scroll up, the paddle moves really slowly but when I scroll down slightly, the paddle shoots down. That caused me to lose more than once.

Cool, how did you get it to work, I tried randomly clicking to get the focus right as well but to no avail.

kkbbcute: No idea, still can't recreate the result.

the mouse wheel version should also work on "MAC" systems now.
as you might know you need always click once into the flash movie to activate the mouse-wheel.

I think like some of us have pointed out, you need to use javascript to set the focus of the browser onto the swf, or the mouse wheel will often not work. There are tutorials for this online.

The concept is good and is really fun through microphone. However, it's a little hard to play, I think the movement needs smoothing out a bit or something.

Just a question, did you have to click on the swf before playing the game? Or did you just start playing normally? If it worked normally for you, what browser are you using?

It's a really fun concept, but really hard. I managed to actually hit the ball once.

kkbbcute, if you're curious, I could play all right after clicking only once, and it was on the PLAY button. Using Chrome.
