Although the thumbsticks are now working, and showing up in the Controller Config screen, neither of them are yet configurable.

After a good number of days working on this, I've finally got it up to a mostly functional state!
For now, you navigate the controller using "default" buttons, so hopefully that works well enough to allow for that. I've still not started work on the thumbsticks, yet, but the code does at least allow for analogue controls, so it shouldn't be too hard to add. *sigh* Such a struggle to get to this point.

With the controller doing proper feedback, now, it's time to look into integrating it into the framework.

Redefine : Part One
Blog
12th December 2017
It's taken quite a while to get up to this point, but I now have the engine half-doing a "Which button is pressed" function.
I can push a keyboard button, or tap a button on a connected controller, and the engine says "This button!" There's a slight issue, whereby if a button is held, it takes control. For example, if you're playing on the keyboard, but your gamepad's lying on the floor, and the thumbstick is prodded to the side, then no matter what button you try to hit, i... Views 33, Upvotes 8

I started the rewrite of the controller code, last night.
Digging deep, I realised I could probably reuse quite a lot of the old code, since the engine already grabs Joystick data each frame, as well as using a bunch of good-old fashioned numbers to do a lot of the legwork. Views 37, Upvotes 11

Mac's turn..
Blog
8th December 2017
The framework isn't quite running properly on MacOS, so today will probably be spent trying to get that going.
For some reason, since the recent MacOS Security Update, I don't seem to be able to Remote-Desktop into the Mac via the WinLaptop. Hopefully it's just some weird thing, requiring a reset or something, and not a hole that's been closed, making it unusable.. Hmm.. :\ Views 58, Upvotes 11

1. Online ScoreboardsIt's been a long time since I last had online scoreboards in my general AGameAWeek games. iOS's GameCenter made me lazy, and I could never be bothered to implement anything more complicated into my Framework.But this year, I opted to take on the challenge, so right at the start of this year I added an "Enter Your Name" thing into my framework, and tied the scoreboard system to the ...

"we're always looking for ways to do what's best for you - creators." Yeah, but if you piss off the people who pay the creators, then the creators aren't going to be too happy!! If you're one of my three Patreons and feel that you're getting screwed by this epic fuckup, then feel free to remove your patreonage. I won't complain. Views 678, Upvotes 17
