Talk:Stopwatch

Why start and stop on button up?

I just tried this. Timing starts and stops on button up. I realize that most of the kids that will use this probably have never used a physical stopwatch, but starting and stopping on the down click seems much more natural (and probably more accurate) to me.

Gamepad vs. mouse button behavior

I just noticed in the test plan that the gamepad buttons work for this activity. Start/stop and reset on the gamepad work on button down. Much better than button up on the trackpad, but inconsistent.

Also 'circle' on the gamepad resets, which would lead me (at least) to believe that right click should do the same, it doesn't.

Also, moving with d-pad up and down, moves a focus area, which is the line that's active for gamepad clicks. Mouse clicks, don't move this focus, also inconsistent.
