Hi does anyone know of an
easy to use input library for pc gamepads?, I'm gonna buy one for a game of mine, I want something that's similar to the master event receiver from the wiki. I tried searching but did'nt find much. Oh and I need support for multiple pads.
Thanks

Gamepads are accessed like joysticks. As libraries for that you can use OIS, SDL or platform specific input libraries like DirectInput.
There has recently been a thread about integrating OIS:

Cool I'll try that... I only have one question, is there one that can be checked with an if statement inside of my main game loop?.
Thanks

If you want to use a Xbox 360 controller, then use XInput. And whether or not you can use it with an 'if' inside your main loop largely depends on how your implement it, or the implementation of the library discussed in its respective documentation.
nope

I want something that's already built though, and I use code::blocks with gcc compiler on windows XP.

or you COULD look for my SDL input event receiver with joystick support. i haven't really tested it much, but it should work fine

Oh that would probably work. Can you give me a link?.
I can't seem to find forums for the SDL
.
Rooly would you please change your sig to something less... disturbing
, speaking of sigs... I bet no one can guess where mine comes from

Sorry, I searched and found WXjoystick (part of WXwidgets) the only problem is I can't seem to find good docs.
But did anyone recognize my sig?.

No I don't recognize it. And what was your search string? He told you that it was made with SDL, and you said you couldn't find the SDL forums, so why didn't you make your search string "SDL." That would point you directly to
SDL which I gaurantee probably contains a link to their forum.
