Installation

Run the following in a Bash shell at the root of your project:

git submodule add https://github.com/sunruse/dreck-gamepad-plugin plugins/gamepad

Example

const gamepadManager = new GamepadManager();

// State will update ONLY when poll() is called.
gamepadManager.poll();

// 0...7.
console.log(gamepadManager.state[0]);

{
  "x": 0.707107,
  "y": 0.707107,
  "click": false,
  "north": false,
  "east": false,
  "west": false,
  "south": false,
  "left": false,
  "right": false,
  "pause": false
}

This will be null if no controller is connected in this slot.
