Third
Party Applications
Presented here are two applications that are fun and
can be useful for learning asbrainfinger control. In each case a brainfinger
profile is included .
To
download a profile right click on the profile link. A small window will appear.
Select "Save Target As..." A Save As window will appear. Click on "My
Computer" or "This PC". Double click on "Local Disk (C:)".
Double click on "Nia Profiles". In the lower left of the window you
will see "File Name", which should display the name of the Profile.
Below that you should see "Save As Type". The type should read "NIA
File". If it reads "Text File", click on the down arrow and select
"All Files". Next click on "Save" to copy profile to Nia Profiles
folder. When you run Brainfingers and select "Desktop Access" you should
see this profile included in the list of profiles.
In some cases there will be a zip file of the actual application that
you will need to download and unzip. To unzip you will need to use Winzip
or someother unzip method. Search the internet for an unzip program
if you don't have one, Winzip is a good one, offers a 45 day trial period
and is inexpensive. Win
10 and 8.1 includes an unzip method.
Skate Girl Game
This game gives brainfinger control of a three dimensional
jet powered skateboard. The three dimensions of control are; left arrow
to turn left, right arrow to turn right and up arrow to move forward.
In the Skate Girl Profile the joystick J1-Muscle is used to control
the left arrow event, J2-Glance to control the right arrow event and
J4-Alpha-Relax to control the up arrow event. When you run the program
it is important that you click in the Skate Girl window so it has focus
to accept the brainfingers events. After launching onto desktop with
the Skate Girl Profile click in the Skate Girl window.
