The classic RTS StarCraft on a touchscreen and Linux OS. I’m not sure the StarCraft crazy nation of Korea would give up the classic mouse+keyboard configuration though. Check out the national champoinship video here. What is it with that game? It’s 2006.

    kool idea, but it’s WAY too slow to be competative. You need to use hotkeys

    it would be kool to have a touch screen and still use a keyboard and mouse, so then you have the OPTION to use the touch or not in tight micro situations. and you could still use the keykeys with your other hand. :D

    Great idea. Starcraft touchscreen.

    Nice for people not worrying to much about speed.

    Looks geared more towards the “I can do it” instead of for intense competition.

    No way James, its totally geared towards the ‘check me out, im microing with my keyboard, mouse and tongue all at the same time’ audience.

    it’s probably geared towards the “what can we add a touchscreen to, whether it’s helpful or not” crowd.
