hi again,

I didn't end up buying a joypad yet...

from the SDL mailing list...   are you able to use the SDL program
testjoy.c to see if that works?  It comes with the SDL source code.

Hey, I'll try it tomorrow, I don't have the SDL source code. It's almost

Re: [pygame] pygame.Joystick Broken in 1.8.1?

Hi,

I've posted your test program to the ubuntu bug, and also sent it along to
the SDL mailing list.

The best chance of getting joystick working in the short term(6-12 months)
however is to include a python joystick implementation in pygame.

I know there's been some implementations floating around...  I'll ask Simon
Wittber if he wants to contribute what he has done to pygame... and maybe we
can modify that to work well enough.


My mission tomorrow will be to buy another joystick, so I can debug it
myself... damn... I had two of them last time I moved... and also 6 dance
mats... but now nothing.

Ah crap. Yeah that was stupid. Okay, I did some printouts and it appears
it's reading axes fine. I was under the impression that they were called
balls in SDL instead of axes. I guess that would explain why current SDL
games still work with joysticks. :P

However, hats *are* still not working. (I tested with a joystick and a
gamepad, both Logitechs) When you get a gamepad, here's a pygame test
program to run:

import pygame

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))
joy = pygame.joystick.Joystick(0)
joy.init()

print Joy Name:, joy.get_name()
print Num Hats:, joy.get_numhats()
print Num Balls:, joy.get_numballs()
print Num Axes:, joy.get_numaxes()

running = 1
while running:
pygame.time.wait(10)
for e in pygame.event.get():
if e.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = 0
axis1_state = joy.get_axis(1)
axis2_state = joy.get_axis(2)
print Axis 1 State:, axis1_state
print Axis 2 State:, axis2_state

#Uncomment below to test hats. Raises error: invalid joystick hat
#hat_state = joy.get_hat(0)
#print Hat State:, hat_state

Output:

Joy Name: Logitech Logitech Dual Action
Num Hats:SDL_JoystickNumHats value:0:
 0
Num Balls: 0
Num Axes: 6

Hmmm... I'd rather not mess with my SDL build at the moment.

I'm going to write a joystick test in C some time today (or this weekend),
to make sure it *is* SDL. It's odd that current SDL games are still working
with joysticks.

hi,

you can see where pygame is installed with:

 import pygame
 pygame.__file__
'/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pygame/__init__.pyc'
 pygame.version.ver
'1.9.0pre'


You'll probably want to remove the whole pygame directory.  Then install
again.

 I checked it out and installed, but I checked versions and apparently
 pygame 1.8.1 is the current version.

  import pygame
  pygame.version.vernum

 Running the new-feature-examples worked, so maybe the version attribute

We're getting Invalid Hat Number and some odd indexing errors in one game.

the hats or axes. I've tried both gamepads and joysticks, and get the same
errors.
