> What I wish for would be a mode where "crank position = (mouse screen X or Y) % 360" or something like that, preferably capturing the mouse cursor such that I can't accidentally click outside the simulator, even better if it wraps the mouse cursor around the screen like how Blender does it.
This is exactly what it's doing for me (so hopefully there's a way to get it working for you!).
I took a peek at the help docs and I see this: https://help.play.date/manual/simulator/#crank-and-accelerom...
> "Double-clicking the crank circle will let you turn it just by moving your mouse."
(When I do this, I can release the mouse button and the cursor becomes 'bound' to the crank. As an indication, the normally white crank indicator turns red.)
Made a quick video showing the behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXoFcIHm0qU (Couldn't think of where to host, YouTube was the easiest.)
(If I’ve misinterpreted what you’re looking for and/or this doesn’t do what you want, my apologies in advance!)
It has over the top moments (like GTA) but I think the story is compelling and it’s not hard to see the parallels to modern day groups and events.
