[comp.sys.atari.8bit] trAkbAll

sdy@croaker.cs.odu.edu (10/18/88)

  I have asked this same question MANY places.... only to get ABSOLUTELY
 NO response.... at all.  I am interested in finding out OTHER programs
 that use the standard Atari trAkbAll (or, now, the ST mouse).  My current
 list is:  Missile Command, and GOE (I have two trAkbAlls and missile
 command).  Does Atari CENTIPEDE use the trAkbAll?  I like to use the
 trAkbAll, but I can't seem to find any other programs that allow its use.

MC is the only one I know of.  The trakball almost works as a joystick
substitute when in joystick mode - it does quite well on the 2600 as well.
It's just that the software that reads it has to read it very frequently
so forget BASIC.  Unless you use a joystick driver (should I post
mine again?)

  Does anyone have a BASIC listing of 
an atari trAkbAll handler...?
