Ok, I made a cleanup on the OSWindow joystick support. I also added the OSWindowGenericRenderer interface which is implemented by a thin wrapper around the SDL2 renderer interface. I have tested this on Linux using a XBox 360 controller (using SDL2 GameController interface) and a PS2 controller via an USB adapter (using SDL2 Joystick interface). Later I will test it on Windows and Mac.
============================= Here is the demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lABfEmToHLQ&feature=youtu.be OSWindowJoystickExample new open. Xbox 360/mapped controls Left stick: move character X button: shoot Start: reset ============================= I also added a simple examples using the OSWindowGenericRenderer: OSWindowGenericRendererDrawingExample new open. ============================= I also modified the OSSDL2Driver >> #isSuitable method to not call the hasPlugin method. The plugin seems to be unnecessary according to several posts, and I am too lazy for fixing it. I guess that this should be eventually integrated into Pharo 5 after some reviewing. Before that, the latest version of OSWindow should be loaded manually. For that, the packages should be loaded in the following order: OSWindow-Core OSWindow-SDL2 OSWindow-SDL2-Examples After that, the following doIt is required in a playground to start receiving events: SDL2Constants initialize.
