Gamepad support for OpenFrameworks
On linux it's stable and fully functional, using the native <linux/joystick.h>.
Window and Mac Versions use OIS, which is also available on linux as well. To switch you simply have to #define USE_OIS. Mac and Windows should define USE_OIS automatically.
Additional notes for Windows:
For Windows a handle to the window needs to be passed to the input manager/OIS. Since openFrameworks handles the creation of the window, we need a different method to get this handle.
To make this work we do the following:
(1) In our app we define a name for the window:
void gamepadExampleApp::setup(){
ofSetWindowTitle("gamepadExampleApp");
(2) In the add-on we use the same name to find the window and obtain the handle:
On line 77 of ofxGamepadHandler.cpp , you will find something like this:
HWND windowHandle = FindWindow(NULL, L"gamepadExampleApp");
You can use any name as a title, just make sure you use the same name in both files.
