So, how about if the "targets" stay still and the cursor moves? I > think there's assloads of prior art on that... No, the patent is pretty darned specific. Its "targets moving in a straight line" to a "predetermined point or line", and the player having to hit a button at that precise point or line to get points. If you're shooting the target, doesn't apply. If there is cursor motion involved, doesn't apply. As far as I can tell, only DDR, Guitar Hero, and Donkey Konga games meet this criteria, and I don't think we have anything like that in Fedora currently. Am I wrong? ~spot _______________________________________________ Fedora-games-list mailing list Fedora-games-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-games-list
