I am trying to implement this library to my game:

https://github.com/kallaspriit/HTML5-JavaScript-Gamepad-Controller-Library

Any ideas cause i am lost. How do i bind event coming from the gamepad and not from the keboard.

Help

It would be a pretty good addition to implement gamepad input binds to the engine.

There is a post in this thread where someone provides information on how they got the gamepad working in their game. Maybe it can help...

Thanks, however tried and some issues implementing it, and its messy.

i hope impact supports game api support pretty soon or someone developes a proper gameapi plugin that maps the keyboard bind.

I looked at this before, and gamepad support seems to vary by web browser a lot and there also seems to be some latency issues as well.

I did some testing with it outside of impact, and unless you touch the gamepad before you try to bind anything to it, it wouldn't bind.

I have the same issue with my touchscreen on my laptop, I have to touch the screen then reload the page so touch events fire in my impact game.
