This isn't quite the first prototype because I hadn't decided to keep copies of all the runtime versions I make until after I'd created the second blog post. Luckily I make a backup every other day and test it on the phone quire regularly, so the only thing missing from this version is the infinite scrolling.

Controls are pretty simple - cursor keys control motion. Up and down increases and decreases the throttle making the helicopter rise and fall, left and right tilts it and transfers some rotor power into motion in the direction of the tilt. The front menu has an exit button which doesn't work on web pages, nor does the calibrate button which is used to set the "home" angle when running it on the phone.
