Being new to this media, I was wondering if there is a Difference between the Right-Hand world and the lost Left-Handed?
Where-as programming is base, examples are not.
Being Left-Handed makes me ask for pictures/video for visual fortification, can that be worked out someway here for people like me.

Um, this is my first post, so if by chance it is in the wrong area, sorry.

I doubt there's a difference because most games allow the keys to be customized. As the programmer you can make any keys work for your game... you don't even have to tailor your game to be used by Right-Handers either.

I kind of meant the tutorials as the topic.
Say DB Pro is line based but the tutorials are showing line based only and not visually guiding the viewer through the process and showing the outcome.
Is there any past posts that talk of this?

In the early days all games made were left-hand as it made it harder for a right-hand person to use.(fruit machines are left hand.)

eg
joystick on the left fire buttons on the right.

but now I think there no difference as they have trained this generation to use either hand.

however you can have fun changing things like the mouse pointer and where you put the menus, and the buttons like cancel.

left handed my self so your not the only one who find things wrong, at least we drive on the correct side of the road for left-hand person in the UK.

Do you know of past post "Header's" that talk of reading other games programs for,base types, attributes, line partitions?
I thinking of using this to create a drag and drop libary, so I could build a space game.
