Hi guys, New user of pyglet, and potential contributor. I'm not sure if the core developers visit this forum, but I thought it was a good place to start. Basically, I want to implement support for SDL2 GameController_API style controller mapping, and wanted to knowthe minimum Python version I should target. Python 3 is a given, but is 2.7 old enough on the 2.x branch? Does pyglet still officially support older than that?
In case anyone is not familar with the SDL2 Game Controller API, it's basically a way to have game controllers "just work" on Linux/Max/Windows. It presents an internal layout that mimics the ubiqitous Xbox360 layout. There is also an internal database of dozens of popular controllers that just work out of the box. For controllers that are not recognised yet, there is the ability to load mappings from a file (SDL_GameControllerAddMappingsFromFile), or automatically from an environmental value (SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG), as is the case when you launch a game under Steam. SDL Wiki page: http://wiki.libsdl.org/CategoryGameController GameController mapping database: https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB This would be built on top of the existing pyglet joystick API, in much the same way as SDL2 does it. Any feedback would be appreciated. -Ben -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
