SDL Joystick Object release

Quote from Cobra

Mac port?! So with this my fellow Mac gamers can actually play my games with controller support?

Yuppp. Works with x64 and ARM64 Macs (e.g. M1 Macs).
I think both Bluetooth and USB are supported, although most controllers only work on Bluetooth for Mac anyway, as an OS limitation, not an SDL one.

SOLD! (damn, I wish I knew about this sooner)
Thank you for this!

This is probably a dumb question - but how do I download it? I signed up for the $5 tier on your Patreon.

Thanks!

Should hear from him soon with a download in that case.

If you have any luck with Mac apps exported picking up controller inputs, be sure to let me know. Haven't had any luck myself yet.

Has anyone created a 2 player game with SDL Object yet?

It's dirt simple doing this for a 1P only game.

New event, SDL Object > Gamepad > Button > Button started being pressed> 14 for right on the D-pad of any device plugged in.

But I am not sure how I would do the same for a specific device rather than any device so that I can create separate controls for both players.

Easiest way is to compare joystick index with the current Device ID to a value from 0 to 15
The problem is, this doesn't work on all controllers, it's better to use Get Player FV expression as the help file says

Better do this instead:

Help file mentions other very important stuff, so I recommend fully reading it

Thanks for that Linky, even though I looked through the manual I was on the wrong track.
Was looking at all the Gamepad sections since that was what I was trying to integrate, didn't realise that was under the Joystick section, but would also work with Gamepads.

The original version of SDL Joystick has been updated. Please login to see this link..

This update makes major improvements to the conditions exposed by the extension, and is should be much easier now to design games with it. The example file was updated with simple analog and digital movement for a 2-player game.

I have also updated Please login to see this link. with explanations of conditions, differences between Joysticks and GameControllers etc.

Big Thanks
