: Playing with a simulated mouse cursor is awkward, especially when the cursor has to be moved constantly in different areas of the screen. One more or less common action in adventures is: a) Point to an object in the playfield, b) Point and click onto a verb at the bottom of the screen, c) Point and click to an object in the inventory at another part of the screen (f.ex. USE chewing gum WITH stick). The zoning function 'remembers' the position of 3 virtual cursors which you can toggle through with the zone action. Ideally, one of those should be positioned inside the playfield, another to the verb are and one more to the inventory area. Then, performing the previously mentioned routine should be easier: just press the zone action to warp the mouse to the next location. | : Playing with a simulated mouse cursor is awkward, especially when the cursor has to be moved constantly in different areas of the screen.
