| 12:47.06 | blast007 | macsforme: I'm gonna work on it today. Just working on getting my local repo mirror synced up so I can easily test it across devices. |
| 13:09.03 | BZNotify | bzflag: 03blast007 11synchronized pull request #255 "Improved joystick support" by 03macsforme (06https://git.io/JfNqd) |
| 15:46.25 | macsforme | I guess I didn't actually try compiling it from scratch on Catalina to see if the newer API fixes it... I think I was just running 2.4.20 |
| 15:46.33 | macsforme | probably worth a shot too |
| 15:50.34 | blast007 | I'm using the latest Xcode on 10.15 |
| 15:51.15 | blast007 | the latest Xcode doesn't have the 10.7 SDK anymore. Think the oldest is 10.9, if that matters. |
| 15:51.23 | macsforme | yeah |
| 15:52.06 | macsforme | and on further thought, I think I did compile on Big Sur and then try running that on Catalina, and that was what was still having issues... so disregard that |
| 15:54.30 | blast007 | also, when we start messing around with gamepads again, I have several more to test with (two bluetooth 8BitDo, one USB 8BitDo, and the two Atari VCS controllers, plus the PS3 and Xbox One controllers I had, and some older USB Saiteks) |
| 15:55.02 | blast007 | and when the PS5 controller support gets merged into the linux kernel and comes to an OS I'm using, I could get one of those too :) |
| 15:55.42 | blast007 | s/PS3/PS4/ |
| 15:59.51 | macsforme | yeah, I got hung up on it when I discovered how triggers are axes instead of buttons on some controllers... I don't think controllers would be fully usable until we can allow an axis to be used as a button |
| 16:00.53 | macsforme | and then there are other things to think about, like do you allow the upper and lower thresholds to be configurable, etc.... |
| 16:01.16 | macsforme | I'll get back around to it someday :-P |
| 16:15.51 | blast007 | the Atari VCS Classic Controller is quite weird :) the handle of the stick can spin and that's an axis. But the actual movement of the stick doesn't seem to be tied to any axis, so it might just be a dpad. |

| 17:20.10 | JeffM[m] | blast007: thatâs to emulate the paddle controller |
| 17:20.32 | JeffM[m] | But on the Atari the stick was a d pad |
| 17:21.18 | JeffM[m] | So that makes sense if they are trying to emulate the two types of controllers the VCS had |
| 17:27.52 | blast007 | It has an LED ring around the joystick. Initially I thought it had more than just 8 positions, but upon closer looking it does seem to just be 8. |
| 17:28.12 | blast007 | I was never moving it slow enough to see the sharp jumps in lighting. |

| 21:01.43 | JeffM[m] | If you play pong on it , do the lights go with the rotation? |
| 21:25.08 | blast007 | yep |
| 21:25.19 | blast007 | but man is that aweful |
| 21:25.30 | blast007 | awful* |
| 21:27.40 | blast007 | (playing it, I mean) |
| 21:29.54 | blast007 | the accuracy of the sensor doesn't feel great. the paddle flickers between positions even when you're not touching the joystick and I also feel like it has jumped ahead when I was rotating right when it would have been in position to reflect the ball.. |
