shroudedcode / contro Goto Github PK

While on an Xbox controller the action buttons are called A, B, C, and D, on a PlayStation controller the action buttons are symbols (circle, square, ...). Contro should detect that and display the appropriate label.

These mappings might help.

When a gamepad is connected, Contro should check whether it supports the standard mapping defined by W3C and only accept it if it does.

my device:
OnePlus 3
Android 8.0.0
Chrome browser

gamepad: XBox controller.

here's the code. It is alerting 'a' in desktop chrome but not on mobile. I verified my gamepad is connected using https://html5gamepad.com/

const { Mouse, Keyboard, Gamepad, or, and } = Contro;

const gamepad = new Gamepad();


const controls = {
    a: gamepad.button('a').trigger,
    b: gamepad.button('b').trigger,
    left: gamepad.button('left').trigger
}

function gameLoop() {
    // Query the controls and do something
    if (controls.a.query()) {
        console.log('a');
        alert('a')
    }
    if (controls.b.query()) {
        console.log('b');
    }
    if (controls.left.query()) {
        console.log('left')
        alert('left')
    }

    requestAnimationFrame(gameLoop)
}



requestAnimationFrame(gameLoop)

Many game libraries (like Three.js) have their own 2D vector implementation. Contro should allow developers to use the implementation they like.

for using contro without game loops it might come in handy

please provide the d.ts as part of the release?

Hey it's possible to add detection of more gamepads?

https://github.com/shroudedcode/contro/blob/fd07ebca71906848740ebd5c1dae11b39d921282/docs/components/gamepad.md

The docs says buttons and sticks can be queried
gamepad.button('A').query()
gamepad.stick('left').query()

but sticks can't, the stick function returns the vector object
gamepad.stick('left')

I've attempted to use the demo with my 8bitdo wireless controller. It doesn't appear to recognize the connection. The button labels don't change when connected, nor do they respond to input from the gamepad. I've tried this on bluetooth and USB using Windows 10, Chrome.

I hate to open an issue for something basic, but I do see input working with the controller using this: https://html5gamepad.com/

Looking at your code, it uses most of the same stuff.

Hi,

I really like this lib, nice work!

I propose an addition to the API/doc - a way to add custom inputs.

This is useful for when having the same game played on mobile.

Hello, whenever I do gamepad.stick("left").query() I get this error: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'timestamp' of undefined

Why?

Hello, thanks for a great library and extensive tests! I have been using it to allow blind people to play video games with a gamepad.

I ran into a few limitations and after a failed attempt to add some of them to contro, I ended up writing some code that is similar to contro but has the following features:

• uses the standard layout to explicitly to buttons and sticks
• supports gamepads that do not use the standard layout
  • some browsers like Firefox do not provide a standard mapping
  • uses mapping files to support non-standard gamepads
• allows checking if a specific button is available on the gamepad
• allows composing buttons, sticks, and even gamepads to make it easier to write games
• allows scoping the key presses so they only apply when the game is in focus (being played)
• allows disposing of keyboard buttons when they are no longer needed

I was not sure if some of those were problems others have run into and if you would be interested in a Pull Request to contro with those changes. If you are interested, I can create one and add tests.

Also, here is the README for the code.

Again, thanks for such an elegant library!

Please, can you add a vibration system for the gamepads?
