[Feature Request] Gyro aiming?

[Wavy667]

Could gyro aiming be added? I enjoyed the official port on the Switch having gyro as it made it much better to control. Could this have gyro as well within the Game-pad?

Thanks for the issue! I can add that to the list of todos. It's a bit lower on the priority list right now since I still need to add more fundamental things such as proper support for non-gamepad controllers. Once I figure out how to nicely use gyro data, I'll add support for it.

Oh sick. Thanks!!

Apologies for the lengthy delay. I unhooked all of the SDL2 joystick code and replaced it with code that directly reads from the vpad/wpad/kpad libraries, meaning I can get gyro to work in theory. Gyro code isn't part of the recent release I made, but my latest commit includes a simple gyro test - holding ZL will enable aiming with the gyro. I don't own the switch version of Doom so I can't compare it, but if you get a chance then feel free to try it out and give me suggestions.

If you don't have devkitpro and wut setup for compiling Wii U executables or just don't want to go through the trouble, then let me know and I can include a compiled one.

Nice. I'll compile Wii U Crispy soon.

Also I don't mind if the gyro isn't the same between the Switch version of Doom and Wii U Crispy.
