Gamepads and joysticks

Gamepads are considered as "standard" input in ÖbEngine, they can be handled the same way than the keyboard keys.

Triggers and joysticks can also be used as buttons (even if in fact they return a float value instead of a boolean one), they use a threshold of 80% of activation course by default.

Here are the equivalent keys for a Xbox 360 Controller (considering that the gamepad uses the index 0 on the computer)

RIGHT_JOYSTICK_UP	GP_0_AXIS_R_UP
RIGHT_JOYSTICK_DOWN	GP_0_AXIS_R_DOWN
RIGHT_JOYSTICK_LEFT	GP_0_AXIS_U_LEFT

DPAD_DOWN	GP_0_AXIS_PovY_UP

You can also retrieve the axis values (for triggers and joysticks in this case) using the dedicated functions.
