Alternative to GameInputManager

General

Hi,

I’m building a 2D game engine and am working on input, specifically joypad support.

I hate to be frank but Xojo’s native GameInputManager and related classes are not great (and don’t work on Linux).

Is there a third party solution that I can work with specifically to interact with wireless joypads (such as the Xbox and PS controllers)? I need them to work both wired and via Bluetooth.

Happy to pay for a plugin if needed.

@Christian_Schmitz: Would any of your plugins help here Christian?

Sorry, I don’t think we have that.

The GameInputManager class is not supported on Linux.

is it already in issues as feature request?
because xojo advertise for cross platform maybe it can get implemented in future.

A good suggestion.
