"Chuck Norris and desktops have six degrees of freedom but current touch devices don't. The prototype control scheme we designed is as close as possible to a mouse and keyboard combination. We tested a ton of variations during tablet LAN parties and found a winner. Players loved it." said Shaun Lelacheur Sales, Co-founder of Cmune and Chief Architect of UberStrike.
