LostUser	Can anyone point me to some examples of where a Golf styled swing-o-meter is used Blitz Basic? I know there is Blitz Golf, but I'm wondering if there is a more basic version hanging around somewhere. A progress bar golf swing-o-meter is fine too.

LostUser	That'll do! Thanks Jay. What do the red line and green line mean?

LostUser	The reason why I'm after a swing-o-meter is because I'm trying to make a text based simulation version of Scarface: The World is Yours for the PS2. In that game the swing-o-meter is used to calculate the deal you are making; whether it be "fast talking with cops", or with "suppliers". I'm working on porting the golf swing-o-meter examples into a version where it calculates the deal in the same way, although it'd help if I knew how the original Scarface game did it, as in that game there is obviousily no "Perfect power" and "Perfect Swing", just a simple hold click as long as you can and let go before it goes back to zero. Anyway, I'll keep experimenting -- but if someone could hack up a basic fill-the-bar o-meter with a mouse click that'll help! Thanks a lot.
