Apparently it's used for a video game adaptation of the "game of life" boardgame.
I wonder what kind of output the roulette is mapped to, and whether you could use it as some absurd control scheme for any game.
34 0 ReplyFirst guess, probably just outputs as one of the analog sticks. Always outputting as though it's pushed all the way to the edge and it rotates with the wheel.
11 0 ReplyThe wheel might be passive and that little piece to the right might just be counting clicks.
9 0 ReplyDoubt it, you wouldn't be able to know which color was where. Unless the player had to manually set it every time they started the game.
6 0 ReplyGood point, not sure.

I was just going to comment that the wheel was exactly like the Life board game, lol.
