I found the GameController Class in the monkey source code and it looks really useful.
Is it unfinished or is there a way to use it? Looks like it’s the way to go for steam, Android TV etc.
PS: Will the _pointerDevice pick up both mouse and touch?
[EDIT] the mappings in SDL_gamecontrollerdb.h seems usefull, so that we don’t have to configure *every* joy stick by hand/user input.
Woah, had forgotten completely about that – please ignore it, I’ll probably remove it for the 1.1.08 release.
An SDL style GameController would be nice though IMO, and I think this is what I started out with but ended up getting a bit carried away.
Ok, thanks for explaining, I was assuming it was a wrapper for SDL_GameController.
One benefit of wrapping that would be the “database” it as of know controllers.
If somebody gets on with this, there are some comunity efforts to maintain lists of mappings here:
https://github.com/p-groarke/SDL_GameControllerDB (where you can also find a link to http://www.generalarcade.com/gamepadtool/
https://github.com/balthamos/SDL_GameControllerDB
Those lists are great, but GUIDs returned on Android is in another format, and there are many Name/GUID variations out there.
I made a GameController module, but I’m not happy with the many issues yet.
Hot pluggin/unplugging seems to be an issue too.
Added JoystickDevice.Close() needed for hotplugging here : https://github.com/blitz-research/monkey2/issues/259
