Gamepad support

Open kpreid opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Enable playing All is Cubes on systems that have a gamepad or other non-keyboard input device.

This will likely involve, or at least benefit from, implementing customizable ~~key~~bindings (and user preferences support to store them). It will also require finding a library to receive such input events (winit does not yet), except on web where we do all our own input anyway.

It will also require focus/cursor for navigating menus.

gilrs seems to be well regarded. There are also some binding management libraries that use it, which I should review for suitability to solve even more problems.

Commit 59465f16a91d5ece08ef7cb5698519157a8976b4 adds a very minimal amount of gilrs glue. We definitely need more general binding management to be able to do much with this, as well as teaching InputProcessor about analog axis inputs.
