put the zoom, crouch reload and any other buttons that cannot fit on the other buttons on the touch screen. u could also make just L or R to fire and have L to vary the different buttons.

alright so movement can be switched in ini between lefthanded = 0 or 1 mean left or right handed and then movement if left handed is on A, B, X, and Y, right is left, right , up , down, then the grenades, reload, crouch, zoom, and anything else needed to will go there right?

yep, just make so that (this is an example) say u want to throw a grenade, u press x, then u want to zoom, there are no other buttons that have zoom, so u hold L and press x at the same time. (this is in right handed mode.)

i like to express that i totally disagree with the notion of giving functions to the abxy keys. its just common sense. (assuming you're right handed) grab ur ds, put your left hand on the dpad and L button, right hand holding stylus, on the screen. now, while aiming (keeping stylus on the screen), try to quickly press x (or any button for that matter). c what i mean?

look at 3 fps games on the ds: goldeneye, metriod prime, call of duty.

do ANY of em use abxy? if professional programmers chose not to utilize those buttons, they obviously had good reason not to.

with that said, minor issues like this can be dealt with later. i think we should listen to wat simon suggested and design a level editor. how to do that? i have no clue >.<

i wont use those buttons

except if you go to the ini and change Left = 1 to Left = 0 then it would mean you hold the stylus with the left hand so you move with abxy and if it is set to 1 then it allows you move with up down left right
