![]() ![]() There’s less room for error on a leverless controller because the movements are all digital. ![]() We’re talking milliseconds of difference here, but with fighting game timings, milliseconds can make all the difference. When you do that motion on a leverless controller, it's simply as fast as your fingers. When you do a half-circle motion on a stick, for instance, there’s travel time involved with the stick physically moving from back to forward. There are a couple of advantages to having a controller with the directional inputs mapped to buttons: For one, input speed. Then on the right side of the controller you have the two rows of four buttons each that you’d find on any typical fight stick. The left-most three buttons are mapped to left, down, and right, with the bottom-most button in the middle being mapped to “up,” making it essentially the “jump” button. Instead of having an actual stick on the controller that moves your character in a full range of directions, that’s all replaced by buttons. Why Leverless?īefore we get into the specifics of the Kitsune, let’s break down what a leverless controller even is, and why so many people are making the switch. Enter the Razer Kitsune, an all button fighting game controller that might just become my new preferred method of playing at least a few of my favorite fighting games. But during my recent trip to Evo, I saw a staggering number of people using leverless controllers, to the point where it made me think that it might be time for a change. In such cases, the best solution is to lay out the image gallery using the CSS grid.Ever since I started taking fighting games seriously, I’ve been a pad player, content with just using the default controller of whatever platform I was playing on. It’s important to know that flexbox does have issues with keeping aspect ratio when images have different widths and heights. However, note that this flexbox image gallery is only a good choice if all images have the same size. In case you don’t need gaps, it’s even fewer. Without special alignment, the CSS of the gallery is just eight lines of code (see Step 5). You can check out IE11’s flexbox issues under the “Known issues” tab on CanIUse.įlexbox makes the creation of responsive image galleries a straightforward process. Actually, the features we have used for the image gallery are all supported by IE11 as well. It fully works with all modern browsers including mobile browsers and partially with Internet Explorer 11, too. ![]() The browser support of flexbox is fairly good these days. The last three alignments are probably not the best choices for smaller images but they might look good with larger images or when the gallery doesn’t span across the full screen. We need to add the flex-wrap rule to the flex container: However, if we set it to wrap, the images will nicely flow into a grid. Its default value is nowrap which means that all items are laid out in a single line. We’ll need to use the flex-wrap property that specifies if the flex items are laid out in one or multiple lines. However, image grids are used more frequently, especially for galleries, so let’s see how to force the images into a neat grid. Stacking all images in the same row can be a good solution for some layouts, for instance, if you have just a few images (or icons). They grow and shrink according to the available space. If you resize your browser window, you’ll see that the images have become flexible. The browser has adapted the widths and heights of the images to the size of the viewport. Now, all the images fit into the same row. Note that as we are randomly generating the images, they will change on every browser reload. It’s frequently recommended to use this CSS rule for flexbox, as otherwise paddings and borders might disappear at the end of the rows.īelow, you can see how our image gallery looks like now. We’ll also add the box-sizing: border-box property to the whole page so that the paddings and borders will be included in the total widths and heights of the elements. It will only include the HTML elements we need for the gallery (html, body, div, img). We’ll use a simplified version of Eric Meyer’s reset stylesheet. ![]() To remove the default browser styling, let’s start the CSS with some reset styles. Flexbox will make the images much easier to handle. It would be hard to modify their position and alignment as well. However, if you try to resize the browser window you’ll see that the images are not responsive-which is even a bigger problem if you use larger images. The browser has stacked the images next to each other nicely, retaining their original 320×240 px size. This is how our image gallery looks like in Firefox 64.0.2, without using any CSS: ![]()
