Hi Andrew,
For buttons I use this:
if event.type == pygame.JOYBUTTONDOWN:
if event.button == "whatever...":
etc....
if event.type == pygame.JOYBUTTONUP:
and so on...
For analog control and d-pads you have to check for axis position each time
through the game loop. I do it all at once before the player objects
update themselves
Like this:
horizontal_axis = self.joysticks[player_number].get_axis(0)
vertical_axis = self.joysticks[player_number].get_axis(1)
Then change the x and y speed for the player with "player_number" to
whatever the axis positions are (times a constant, if necessary). Of
course, the player_number has to correspond to the joystick collection
indices pretty well for this to work. You can eliminate that part of it by
replacing "player_number" with "0" and just make sure to check that the
joystick count is >0 before you call .get_axis
Hope this helps a little!
