Using analog joystick for 360 shooting?

[mobichan]

I am trying to integrate the Joystick2 extension with my game and I wondered if anyone could point me to any tutorials on how to get an analog joystick (ps2 controller) to fire 360 degrees, similar to Robotron/Geometry Wars. I currently have code to use the mouse, so I can figure out the angle between the player and the mouse using atan2. But I am a little confused as to how I would approach this with a gamepad.

Any help is appreciated,

Can anyone tell me if this is even possible with Joystick2? Or should I be looking at another extension all together?

You can use the expression to get the joystick direction in degrees.
