Rotation names

"CW" and "CCW" are hard to read. While "rotate left" and "rotate right" are slightly misleading, they are probably better here. Other options would be welcomed. --Lardarse 07:39, 5 December 2007 (EST)

The CW/CCW substitution for right/left seems to be a subjective issue so I'll leave it as is until I have enough inputs to decide. --DIGITAL 19:59, 5 December 2007 (EST)

I agree that rotate left and right makes a lot more sense. Right and left are instinctive, so the reader automatically knows which way to go, but when he/she sees CW or CCW, first he must discern whether is has one or two C's, then he must (typically) visualize a clock ticking. That's my process anyway. Voting left/right here. Maybe "rotate leftward" is better? 66.157.54.221 21:55, 5 December 2007 (EST)

can i travel back in time if i don't like my piece placement? voting for CW/CCW --Jujubo 23:00, 5 December 2007 (EST)

or is something like this possible? --Jujubo 23:15, 5 December 2007 (EST) File:Sunglasses-emoticon-round.JPG

The image idea sounds like a streamlined system. It would remove the hassle of a textual interpretation and make more room for adding multiple notes/actions on a diagram. I was looking at this page and thought we could come up with something similar. --DIGITAL 01:17, 6 December 2007 (EST)

Perfect guide for a TAS! But yeah, vote images. --Lardarse 05:58, 6 December 2007 (EST)

Ehh... not just for a TAS either. 0G ARS Movement Finesse anyone? --Lardarse 06:11, 6 December 2007 (EST)

The Lockjaw manual uses some glyphs from Unicode: ↰ (&#8624;) and ↱ (&#8625;). In theory, ↶ (&#8630;) and ↷ (&#8631;) would also work, but under vanilla XP at the font size that MediaWiki monobook uses, the arrowheads are hinted like crap. --tepples 11:28, 6 December 2007 (EST)

So make them bigger? 66.157.54.221 12:03, 6 December 2007 (EST)
