Change the cursor in the hacking minigame

When it comes to the hacking minigame, I always have trouble remembering which way left and right click rotate the pieces. I would suggest changing the cursor to help the player quickly recall and realize how the pieces will turn. A dot with two rounded arrows on the outside would do this, or simply two rounded arrow to the lower right of a normal cursary arrow. I created a quick mock up of the more 'target' type cursor I described first.

I'm sure the other idea is easy to imagine, and I'm personally not sure if those arrows even point the way the pieces rotate, it's simply a quick example to clarify my idea.

for some reason a idea popped into my head~

thinking bout how to solve these puzzles~

instead of pointing and clicking the HEX's~

why not change the rotation options to the num pad~

each HEX is designated to one number of the num pad~

and pressing the designated number rotates the HEX~

for people who use controllers though might have a different method~

like using the d-pad as an option instead of grabbing the mouse when hacking~

I personaly use both keyboard and controller so I've had first hand experience~

of me fumbling to my mouse and accidentally clicking the wrong Hex and rotating them wrong~

anyways that's my idea of the hacking puzzle changed method~
