Hello all.
Due to the short time remaining to my project handup for my Air Hockey game,
i've abandoned the idea of implementing it over a network.
But since the only real way to play Air Hockey is using a mouse, i was
wondering if it is possible for 2 people to use 2 mouses while on the same
computer? For example, 1 mouse could be in USB port and other in PS/2 port.
Does C Sharp support this? And if so, can anyone point me to some examples
or documentation on how to implement this?
Many thanks in advance,
Brian

OTTOMH I think you're out of luck. I have a mouse and a graphics tablet and
they both work as mouse input. If I use the mouse then the cursor follows
that, if I move the graphics tablet pen the cursor jumps to it's position.
I suppose key inputs are a pain.
How about using a game input pad / joystic arrangement. They have two player
inputs.
I've never seen two pointer devices configured independently.
PS. I think everyone would like to see your final code for the game if you
feel like posting it somewhere.

A few years ago I used a PC for image analysis which had a mouse and
trackball, so I know its possible, but I think you may need an adapter to
create multiple pointers.
ok,

Cheers for the quick replies!
Looks like i'm stuck with keyboard input.. or i might configure it for one
player to use mouse and other to use keyboard!
But will consider Bob's idea regarding user a joystick / gamepad.
PS - regarding posting of my game code: as soon as my project presentation
is completed (end of March / start of April), i'll make the code freely
available but it's possibly the most poorly written code i've ever seen.
Anyways, about a month or so to go until i handup my code and a lot more to
do!!

Brian, if you are still interested, here is a port of RawMouse in C#, you
may be able to map the different user input data to your game objects. (See
rawinputsharp.z ip in downloads section) http://link.mywwwserver.com/~jstookey/arcade/rawmouse/

Ahmed, you're a lifesaver!
Thank you for that link!
When i ran the demo included with the file.. i realised that i can use my
laptop for the game - my USB Mouse as input for 1 user and the touchpad on
the laptop as input for the other user.
Problem solved!
Thanks again!

My mistake.. think i got a little too excited about my idea!
I was using it and it seems to override one of the inputs if you use them at
the same time.

Hi All,
I've got another question for you...
Same courseware-type application, new problem.
What I would like to do is have the users mouse over each point to get a
full description of the item - in this case a visual cut into sections.
However, this is where things get complicated, I would like to block them
from proceeding with the courseware until they have moused over each point.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
