If you have the time to sketch-out any schemes they would be most
appreciated. Certainly I'm working on a sparse-array type scheme at the
moment. What I'd like is something that could return a given 9 element row
or column, thus only decoding the landscape that comes into view when
moving.
I would imagine that since this is a turn-based game (as opposed to action)
the decoding wouldn't need to be completed within a single frame - would
anyone begrudge a 10ms delay?
I was also thinking of using the Video Touch Pad (substitute Keyboard
Controller) along with a joystick, allowing for a more elegant command
interface. (I know keyboards take a while to read, but I'd just interleave
the delays with other work)
