Real time strategy games brought to a whole new level

Real time strategy games brought to a whole new level

If you've ever watched the pros play RTS (real time strategy) games like Starcraft, Warcraft and Command & Conquer, you will see frenzied clicking and typing on the mouse and keyboard, and you should also start hearing terms and phrases like "micro managing" and "APM" (actions per minute). However if playing RTS games on a traditional keyboard and mouse computer setup is not for you, perhaps gaming on a 20-foot-wide multitouch display might be something you could be interested in. The game in question is called Fleet Commander and it is based off the Star Wars universe and is developed by computer science grad student Arthur Nishimoto.
