[IxDA Discuss] select exact number widget?

[Olly Wright]

Haven't seen one but here's an (ajax ofc) idea that might work? Drag  
the first item you want onto the second, which would select both.  
Drag a third onto one of them and the one not involved is de- 
selected. Needs all the items visible to work. Maybe more intuitive +  
fun than checkboxes? and less steps and Fitt's law problems than  
dragging two items into a separate ring-fenced area.

For inspiration you might do better with computer games than sites /  
apps? There's lots of this action in stuff like RTS games and simple  
games (like but not) bejeweled.
