That would be great, I was hoping to use the wheel to turn so that it would be easier to turn and walk forwards simultaneously with one hand.

That's a good idea, but I was thinking of a different approach which was inspired by iBoy on iPod Linux.

The iPod clickwheel can detect where the finger is placed as well as whether a button is pressed!

I was thinking that TOUCHING the left (Fast-forward) key would strafe left and TOUCHING the right (Reverse) key would strafe right. TOUCHING the bottom (play/pause) key would move back. TOUCHING the up (menu) key would move forwards.

PRESSING the left key (button) would turn left, PRESSING the right key would turn right. The pressing of down, up, etc can be assigned to whatever the user wishes, etc.

The corners can also be detected for touch too! (right-up, right-down, left-up, left-down)

This adds 8 new key assignment possibilities to the clickwheel! I wouldn't recommend assigning anything to the corners, however in case they are pressed accidentally.

Is it possible for anyone to try code this?

If I knew how, I would...
