Xbox 360 controller

Post by Ravi08 »

I was just wondering that how kl would it be if you could implement the xbox 360 controller with IRRLICHT. So for example I'm creating a racing at the moment, how good would it be if i could implement the controller buttons so when i was A the car goes forward. But this is just a thorght and i would love to hear your views.

P.S Sorry if this post is in the section.

Why not just use a regular PC gaming controller? If you're referring to using Irrlicht on the Xbox 360, then that's an existing thread.

Since all 'controllers' are just special cases of joysticks, perhaps searching for 'joystick' might be a useful starting point.

There's actually already a thread showing how to use the 360 controller with Irrlicht so you can search for it.

Same for the thread on using Irrlicht actually on the 360 itself, search for it (but to save you time i'll tell you that it's not currently possible ;))
