This is simple example for detecting gamepad inputs using liburing and libevdev libraries in linux.
For more concrete example see src/handmadehero_linux.c
| library | used for |
|---|---|
| liburing | event loop and polling |
| libevdev | detecting whether device is gamepad |
meson setup build
ninja -C build
