Oh, I thought you didn't know yet either, YUM asked me to ask the question here as well. But if you know, no more information is needed indeed. Nevertheless, thanks everybody for your reactions  |

The reason that it 'works crappy', wolf_, is because the program is written in BASIC. That means it's execution is SLOW! So if you want to draw a line really fast, it will only output a couple of loose pixels. And that isn't what we want.
Yeah, I've got one boxed with manual  |

I wasn't talking about basic..
Ofcourse I'm not gonna use that tablet in some basic app, duh
I tested it with DesignerPlus iirc, and that worked crappy.. |

Tsk, DesiPlus works crappy even without that tablet!  BTW, swtiching your MSX to 7MHz works miracles on the tablet. It still sucks, but it sucks a lot less :-) |

D+ works like a breeze using a mouse.  So between a mouse and a tablet: I choose the mouse .. |

Heh, in our project it's just a nice extra option. In this stage I won't reveal too much, but we are thinking of having the graphic tablet replacing the monitor
And now guess, what would we be making?
The first right guess with right argumentation wins a beer at the fair in Bussum. Sargon members are excluded from participation

I think this is a util where you place a template with icons on the tablet, so you can use the whole screen to work on in a graphic app (GFX9000?)
btw
If I win, I don't drink beer anymore, it's not good for my health.

touchscreen stuff.. actually what legacy said.. there's not much else you could do ..
ohwell, if you place some special sheet of plastic on the tablet with some raised dots, then I guess blind ppl could input using braille
and .. I choose ... the ... healthy milk  |

That blind ppl have a little problem, they can't see the screen.

indeed.. so the application should have navigation on sound.. like when the cursor goes left, some sound plays lower, when the cursor goes right, the sound goes higher.. when the cursor goes up, more noise is added, when the cursor goes down, more noise is subtracted ..
And the Q is if blind ppl need to see something anyway (no pun intented  ) .. perhaps someone can make a game based on sound-output .. dunno
ahwell.. I'll prolly don't get the milk I guess  |

Maybe Deltasoft can make a blind-version of musical memory using the drawing tablet. For none blind people there should be a special Deltasoft blindfold then.
Wow, would be great

I'm afraid nobody has come up with the right solution yet
YUM, I'm surprised you didn't gave away what we are working on in order to score a free beer?  |
