There's one possible change/addition to it which I'd like to offer for discussion. How about handling single taps in two different ways:

• If it's in the general vicinity of the cursor, i.e. in a relatively small circle (maybe make that configurable) around it, treat them as left clicks.
• Otherwise move the cursor to where the screen was tapped.

I think this might just work and make gameplay even more convenient. What are your thoughts?

I hope it's okay to bring this up again: I have just played through Rebirth, The Reaper and Ben Jordan 1 on my Nexus 7 and must say I think this would actually be very convenient at least on larger screens/tablets. Moving the cursor across the whole screen is a bit tedious.

I had a look at the Android source to see whether I could try it out myself but couldn't figure out where the distinction between the different mouse modes is made in the actual code. Any hints in that direction would be greatly appreciated.

Another thing: Would it be possible to include some more keys in the keys menu? Ben Jordan e.g. uses Ctrl-T to toggle subtitles and I couldn't figure out a way to do that on my Nexus.

Thanks! It does indeed (same as left clicking), but not enough for my taste - there's some animations and some dialog choices to be made that can't be skipped.

Well, if it's not possible, I'll just wait until I have time to go through a longer portion of the game in one go. Just thought I might have overlooked something.

Thanks again everybody for your help!

Thank you, but I tried that and it doesn't seem to do anything on the title screen.

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I tried all the F-keys, only one that seemed to do anything was F9 (restart). It might be because I'm on Android, but I tried it on a Mac under wine with the same result. Any help still appreciated.

Just wanted to drop in to say thanks to JJS for this awesome port. I have just installed it on both my Nexus 4 and my Nexus 7 and while I haven't actually played a game on them yet, first impressions are really good.

One small anecdote aside: When I first tried it out on my phone, I found it almost unusable since I couldn't see what was under my finger and thus under the mouse pointer. I thought about possible improvements to the interface and was just about to register here to suggest something - and then I discovered relative mode which was almost exactly what I had come up with.

Hi all,

my first post in the AGS forums and I hope it's alright to post this here since it's not actually a gameplay hint I'm after. I feel kind of stupid for not being able to figure this out, but I haven't found a way in Rebirth to skip the intro sequence and load a save game directly from the opening screen.

Is that possibility really well hidden, am I just too blind to find it or does is actually not exist at all?

Thanks in advance for any help!
