I am finally getting underway on my game(thanks to the billions of helpful posts already here).

on thing I would like to find out still. I use a Gamecube controller on my PC... many people out there do have analog controllers now. I would like to take advantage of its analog capabilities, and obviously the ole joystickup()=1 isnt going to accomplish that.

you have to excuse me, I always base my startup from my old TRS-80 days, I find this basic isnt much different so I assume what I need to do is basically the same, but with some minor changes..

my old analog stick on the TRS-80 had an X,Y axis, which where controller by the commands joystick 0 and joystick 1(0 being left to right, 1 being up and down).

so if joystick(0)64 you would tell it to move you right, which worked the same, but also gave you an option for any of those numbers for more precision.

does anyone know how I accomplish this with Dark basic?

Use the JOYSTICK X() and JOYSTICK Y() functions - they return values between -1000 and +1000 depending on how far you have moved the controller.

You'll probably need to take into account a 'dead-zone' at the centre - my own gamepad sometimes registers values of +/- 16 for either axis when centred.

How do u use a gc controller on a pc?

I went to Liksang.com and purchased a USB Adapter..
it works awesome(except it doesnt support the Wavebird )

they have them for Xbox and PS2 controllers now as well.

anyways, thanks for the help, I knew it had to be something similar, I am still trying to adjust from my old set ways of RSDos.
if I had my way, the Coco would still be alive and going strong
