I'm getting my niece a PC Dance Mat for her birthday. See logic3 website

When it arrives I'm tempted to try playing DM with it!

Using CSBWin I could change the CONFIG.TXT to make it use the keys that the mat emulates, and thus dance around the dungeon, getting some much needed exercise in the process.

I suspect this idea may be a total pants, or is it?

Exercise + DM =

The dance mat has now arrived and I've tested it.

I had a quick bash with the dancing game first, and whilst I'm sure my niece will love it, it has limited appeal for a 40-year-old bloke with a big beergut, apart from the prospect of reducing the size of said protruberance.

Next I edited the CSBWin config file and played some DM. It really does work! You can physically walk around the dungeon and bash monsters by stamping your foot. Not unexpectedly, the novelty did wear off quickly so I won't be buying a second mat. The original will be carefully repackaged for Eloise to enjoy

If you want to see a piccie (160KB) of the mat controlling DM and/or get the config file, go to http://www.sholing.force9.co.uk/dmdance.htm
