I have used the USBAccessXtra by Geoff Smith to get access to USB devices, including the PS3 controller (the standard one, not a dance pad).  I would give that a shot. http://www.physicalbits.com/xtras/ShowXtra/xtraid/8/section/Description -------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to: stopherr Replies to this message go to everyone subscribed to this thread, not directly to the person who posted the message.

It will all depend on what sort of Mat you are using.  There are xtras to grab the inputs of joysticks, serial devices, usb devices, etc, so use the appropriate xtra and you can get the buttons pushed... see here for a list of xtras: http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/MileHighTable/ -------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to: stopherr Replies to this message go to everyone subscribed to this thread, not directly to the person who posted the message.

How my character has improved?

WELL, for one, it's changed breeds. Also, i've dropped the whole typography character that I had before because as you can see, 'Doug' fits more into the game like's design and all that. He was made using Ai, and not from a tutorial as such. Just inspired by other creations yano? 

What I like about illustrator is, you can push back or bring forward the layers you create, not necessarily having to merge them and fiddle around to make things fit into place. The dog is made up of vectors, and each vector is placed so that his body looks joined (which you'd expect really). I can't really explain but perhaps if you look at him, then you'll kind of get me. 

Douglas, the Dog. (cameo role ) 

Dance Mat (Revised)

I fear the worst, and that being the idea is too simple. It's nothing I can do now (4 months into it) but it would appear that this could be percieved as a prototype yano, like a beta version. Obviously there is room for expansion. 

My Design after, kinda following the tutorial

It's not the best, but I think it's pretty neat, considering my lack of knowledge using the software :)

Illustrator

I have found a new found love for Adobe Illustrator. I'm shockingly bad at it though, but the software if rather complex and even tutorials are hard to follow. I'll post one up, that I had been doing for the project.

I also, only have 17 days left to get all my design work done, if needed to be done in Ai, because sadly I'm not well off enough to purchase the software thus using a trial.
