323 To handle Joystick events we merely add cases for them, first we'll add axis handling code. Axis checks can get kinda of tricky because alot of the joystick events received are junk. Joystick axis have a tendency to vary just a little between polling due to the way they are designed. To compensate for this you have to set a threshold for changes and ignore the events that have'nt exceeded the threshold. 10% is usually a good threshold value. This sounds a lot more complicated than it is. Here is the Axis event handler:</P |
