As the resident DDR fan (who's busy with two jobs and a DDR simfile contest over at Bemanistyle, thus why I'm not here so much as late), let me add two caveats and two ideas for this:
Caveats:
1) A large majority of DDR pads lack a center button - but this is a good thing for many types of play conditions. Why? You need to be able to rest your foot SOMEWHERE...
2) Anyone who's a hardcore DDR'er AND hardcore DRODDer is going to be racing for time and moves if this becomes popular.... For some reason, I want to see the very last 'puzzle' room of JtRH played to Pandemonium now that I think about it. o_O;
Ideas:
1) If someone could figure out how to use a Wii controller on a PC, you have three buttons there. The a and b held under the right thumb to rotate, the a by the dpad under the left to wait. No motion sensitivity or nunchuck needed
2) It's funny that I had a dream about this a few days ago, though there it was just a silly "
I wonder if Stepmania's theming engine could be converted for use for DROD"
type thing. ("
Select a hold!"
)
