[java] Mouse Sensitivity

Windows, Mac and/or Linux?

Well I was hoping for a cross-platform solution since I'm using Java but I'm working on a Windows XP machine.

Thanks

divide the delta by some constant amount larger than 1(or multiply with some 0<value<1)

Update whatever is controlled by mouse sensitivity based on a correction of the delta value, using a constant value that can be adjusted to give a more/less sensitive feedback on the output. The adjusting constant can be on a 0 to |1| scale, like the previous poster suggested.

double new_delta = delta * sensitivity; 

Do you still want to show the cursor on the screen (like an rts), or is it invisible (like in a fps),

If you want it to show, you could use java.awt.Robot to move it. You would still have to change the delta (see poster above) of course.

Cheers

Thanks for the suggestions guys but I'm not sure how to get a delta value from the MouseEvent item. How do I know where the mouse started and where it ended?

Thanks,

MouseEvent gives you where the mouse started, through the methods getX() and getY(). You should have stored the previous mouse position somewhere, so you can calculate the delta now:

float sensitivity = 0.8f; //make it go slightly slower

float changeX = mouseEvent.getX() - oldX; //we stored this somewhere

int newX = oldX + change*sensitivity;

Same for calulating Y...
