Hi, I have a bit of a problem: for some reason I can't use left-click to interact with things. I need to hold down lmb and then move my mouse like a pixel to make the click actually count. My mouse works perfectly in everything else and right-click works fine. I haven't changed anything in the settings (at least I think so). If anyone knows how to fix this please tell me. I don't want to reinstall playscii, because I don't know if that will fix the problem. Thanks
Has this always happened? What OS are you running?
"binds.cfg" in your config dir is where the key bindings are defined, you could have a look at that file and see if anything looks out of the ordinary. i think the behavior of the mouse buttons might be hardcoded though.
I've thought about this a lot over the years since it's such an obviously slow process, would lend itself extremely well to a multi-core and/or GPU accelerated approach, but it's never quite been clear how I'd pull it off - I'm not a particularly knowledgeable or powerful programmer in the directions that would make it easy to try those approaches. I'll let you know if I ever figure anything out.
Some of my old notes about it are on the playscii trello board, which I haven't touched in some time:
