Description Blackketter Dean 2009-04-27 18:15:26 UTC

Helpful text is missing.  I propose:

"Use up/down to choose letters, right to go on, left to go back.  Press Play to backspace and Add to insert a letter."

We need to test this interface before assuming people won't know how to use it.

Comment 2 Ben Klaas 2009-07-14 10:29:35 UTC

if we do text, this needs to be addressed now for translations.

I truly, honestly think users will get through this without the instructions.  

Controller is tougher since the buttons and controls are much more unorthodox (scroll wheel, back button in a weird spot).

Was there a usability issue that drove the addition of the text to controller?

Moving to the product SqueezePlay because this bug appears to apply to any player based on that application code.  Feel free to move it back if it's specific to the original product.
