Mac build requires kernel extension #13

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently we make both developers and players install a kernel extension so
we can read the 360 controller as a HID device. This is especially
problematic as even games that don't use the controller need to do this
just to link and run. 

I see two potential solutions. 
1. A stopgap: make a build option that disables the controller so that a
program can easily build and run without caring about it. 
2. A full solution: find (or write) a library that can read the 360
controller straight without needing the kernel extension. I don't know
enough about the USB setup on OS X to even know this is feasible, but it's
certainly the better solution in the long run.

This isn't worth the effort. If someone comes along who knows about USB inputs, 
then hooray.
