Hey,
I have been trying to experiment with Joysticks, hoping that I will be
able to use on in my project. I'm having a little trouble with
actually figuring out how to get stated as the only code I have found
online has been to just get the values for what all the buttons,
axis's, and hats are. I have been kicking myself for the past few
hours just on the internet trying to figure out how to get started
with it all. Considering that I haven't been able to find any
information on how to actually work it; I have decided to take the
last resort and ask everyone here.\
What I want to be able to do is have my players be sprites, and then
have the ability to control them with the joystick. (I'll post the
class at the bottom)
If there is anyone that can help me it will be GREATLY appreciated as
I am completely lost on how to do this.
Thanks

Once again, If anyone could help me in just trying to figure out what
has to be done, or can atleast point me in the right direction, I will
be forever in debt.
