Extension request: Controllers (joysticks) #2128

Open Kenny2github opened 5 years ago

Kenny2github commented 5 years ago

Rationale

Many projects (such as platformers, shooters, or rhythm games) would benefit from using game controller inputs.

Proposal

Here is a rough draft of a set of blocks that could make use of controllers, mostly based off of Pygame's "joystick" framework.

Do you know any examples of websites that currently take analog controller input? Could be interesting to see how they're doing it. It's unclear to me exactly how that input would appear to the browser; as opposed to binary keypresses, which can just work like keyboard presses.

There's a JavaScript Gamepad API which in retrospect I should have based my proposal off of.

This website is a good sandbox for what controllers report what values.

Some kind of touch input control would be very welcome, supporting multi touch for game pad style input.

@Kenny2github Safari is not on the list so it's hard to implement.

According to Can I use, Gamepad API has been supported by Safari as well. I just verified an example at the website that DualShock4 works in Safari as expected including analog inputs.

This fork of scratch-vm implements a gamepad extension. You can test it here. After adding the extension, I was able to use one gamepad.
