Well, it seems I might have to resort to “plagiarism” instead…

APIs handling these stuff are barely documented due to “you can just use xy middleware to do that easier” (only for xy middleware still using DirectInput 8 among many other problems), or the OG documentation being completely barren and obvious issues often not being documented anywhere.

Poked around in my code, it seems the issue was on my own end, as I accidentally used the wrong variable for the handles.🤦‍♂️

Now it’s time to look up docs on Xorg Xinput (different from Microsoft’s own thing, which I only use as a fallback).

Tried it, looked promising, then I took a look at the input handling…

It would be fine for smaller projects, but not ideal for mine.

Do you need to write your own engine?

If not, check out Godot Engine.

ZILtoid1991, 25 days ago

I’m writing my own engine, I want to cut time on porting stuff to different systems.

athairmor, 25 days ago

Well, you could use something like Godot for the same reason. Depends on how much work you want to do or if you need something it doesn’t provide.

I’m making a game right now using phaser js for the engine and I setup node js websockets on the backed to make it multiplayer. Js is my preferred language so it’s been a nice setup.
