Comment (by artrelated):

 Funny enough, I just played Return to Monkey Island with the pencil (you
 can get it for free, which allows you to play in the first location).
 There is no special implementation for the pencil, but you can see how the
 interface was adapted for mobile devices.
 For me, the pencil would help most with point and click games, where it's
 difficult to use fingers to precisely tap where needed. Also, in most
 cases your finger would cover up the tooltip that describes the item. This
 can be alleviated by using the pencil, as a more precise tool, which also
 won't obscure the tooltip. In most games you use left and right mouse
 click for interact and examine, respectively. Not sure how to go about
 this with the pencil though. There is the possibility to tap the pencil,
 also the iPad would sense the pencil hovering over an area without the
 need to actually touch the screen. Maybe this "sensing" could be used to
 move the cursor? Though maybe not so easy to always keep the pencil at a
 certain distance.

 Please, share your progress, would be glad to help where possible.

 way that I can use as inspiration?
