Re: Microsoft MulitiPoint

What's Microsoft MulitiPoint?? I'd help if i knew what it is, but:
Scratch dosent really support pointers that are laser based (meaning, non mouse)


I'm back.
Maybe.

MultiPoint basically just lets you have multiple mouse cursors on the screen at once, each controlled by different people.

Anyway, I see no reason why it wouldn't.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: Microsoft MulitiPoint

I think there would be a problem, because Scratch is designed to be single user based. exe: Imagine a class IW (The projectors on those special screens that detect where and if its being touched) and two kids are arguing over where the mouse go. One kid touches and holds a block to move, the other clicking the green flag. The mouse would be INBETWEEN both fingers. I think the same would happen with the MultiPoint, but the block going in the middle with no cursor.


I'm back.
Maybe.
