GDK's GameInput

Open mmozeiko opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Here's one more way to get controller data on Windows (and Xbox) - through GDK GameInput: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/gdk/_content/gc/input/overviews/input-overview

From mrmixer on Handmade Network forum: https://handmade.network/forums/t/8710-using_microsoft_gameinput_api_with_multiple_controllers

I can't get data from this API on my machine. I tried mrmixer's exe as well: it prints

gamepad 1 input
got reading.

in a loop, but does not recognize A being pressed. I've tried with Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PS4 controllers.

Added overview and example for GDK GameInput. Would be nice to get displayName from it, but there seems to be a bug in the API that causes the field in DeviceInfo to always be null.
