The Zwackery Files

Zwackery is a game with a unique control set. Push / pull spinner and Tron style flight stick. I think it has one other pushbutton for "start game."

I am never going to be able to get the real thing. So I am going to make a control panel and use the push / pull spinner.

First up: I think the easiest thing to do is get this Chinese encoder:

And this flight stick:

I have a proper Ultimarc encoder around somewhere. If I can find that, I won't need the Chinese encoder.

Then it's a matter of deciding on wood or metal for the control panel. Because I'd be lifting the spinner, I want something heavy.

Be honest, who here had never heard of the game "Zwackery" before this post?

Or is it just me?
