Notes:
joypadlib Version 0.1.4
By: Derek Nedelman
Date Released: October 23, 2002
Home Page: http://www.playstation2-linux.com/projects/joypadlib
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technicals:
-joypadlib is written in C so that it can be used by either C or C++ developers.
-All the joypadlib functions are prefixed by "joypadlib_" so that you can clearly
delineate between your own code the the joypadlib function calls.
-The functions.txt file explains what each function's purpose is, what its parameters
are, and what values are returned.
-main.c contains a simple program demonstrating the use of joypadlib. You can
run this program by typing "make run" within the directory that contains this
file.
Limitations of joypadlib:
-Guns, steering wheels, and other sorts of non-traditional controllers aren't
supported. Considering the vast majority of games are designed with the
standard Playstation joypad in mind, this isn't so bad.
-The vibration functions are hardwired to use two actuators. I don't know if
other controllers even support more than two, so this may not be a limitation
either.
