More joystick commands...

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

More joystick commands...

Post by DoubleDutch »

As well as the button and X/Y axis, we also need:

Z axis
X rotation
y rotation
z rotation
'point of view hat' (used as the left 8-way digital pad on some joysticks)

Plus, shouldn't the axis (and rotation if implemented) commands give a more varied result. Why aren't they an analogue value?

Also, is force feeback control going to be available soon?

Thanks, will use that but really needed something cross platform in the end...

+1 on the Z axis. Can not create a shooter or some sports game without it. Plus I have some one requesting the feature for my app.

What I would like to see is full support of an XBox360 style controller (10 digital buttons, two analog triggers, two analog sticks and a digital dpad) and at least two of those controllers.
