Complex "abstract" example of crank interaction: The crank is not directly linked to a physical game-world action, but is instead an intuitive method of control for the combat UI.

We reimagined the traditional turn-based RPG combat system in a way that takes advantage of the crank to add more dynamic decision-making to combat. In this example, "actions" that would normally be in a list are instead placed as "nodes" on a battlefield. The player uses the d-pad and the crank to first select line segments of varying shapes and then uses the crank to angle that segment, forming a path out of multiple parts. They then select a node in a certain range at the end of their path and perform the action associated with that node. In this way, the player is forced to consider not only their actions but also their position on the battlefield.
