options screen

[electronstudio]

There should be an options screen containing:

• Player name text field
• Player colour1 and colour2 selector
• Sensitivity slider for analogue sticks

One idea I had was when the phone is in portrait mode show the options screen and show the pad only in landscape mode.

Nice idea, I'll have a look at that.

We now have a working interface that emits the following messages:

Player name text field

{
    "__type__": "set_name",
    "name": "Terry"
}

Player colour1 and colour2 selector

{
    "__type__": "set_colour_1",
    "colour": "green"
}

{
    "__type__": "set_colour_2",
    "colour": "fuchsia"
}

Sensitivity slider for analogue sticks

{
    "__type__": "set_sensitivity",
    "sensitivity": 0.78
}

N.B. For the colour selection, HTML colour names are currently used, we can switch over to whichever format by editing this array:

MobControlJava/src/main/resources/client/pages/settings.js

Lines 5 to 23 in 4f11875

	const selectableColours = [
	// TODO: Replace with hex, or whichever format is required.
	'WHITE',
	'SILVER',
	'GRAY',
	'BLACK',
	'RED',
	'MAROON',
	'YELLOW',
	'OLIVE',
	'LIME',
	'GREEN',
	'AQUA',
	'TEAL',
	'BLUE',
	'NAVY',
	'FUCHSIA',
	'PURPLE',
	];

Leaving this issue open in case further work is requested.

Sensitivity now affects the padState directly, instead of sending a request. Moving the sensitivity slider from left to right adjusts the extent between the range defined here:

MobControlJava/src/main/resources/client/lib/padState.js

Lines 16 to 17 in e3e563f

	const AXIS2D_EXTENT_RADIUS_MIN = 20;
	const AXIS2D_EXTENT_RADIUS_MAX = 200;

The values used in the range should at some point be changed from pixels to screen proportion.
