Ok, I made a cleanup on the OSWindow joystick support. I also added the OSWindowGenericRenderer interface which is implemented by a thin wrapper around the SDL2 renderer interface. I have tested this on Linux using a XBox 360 controller (using SDL2 GameController interface) and a PS2 controller via an USB adapter (using SDL2 Joystick interface). Later I will test it on Windows and Mac.

=============================
Here is the demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lABfEmToHLQ&feature=youtu.be

OSWindowJoystickExample new open.

Xbox 360/mapped controls

Left stick: move character

X button: shoot

Start: reset

=============================

I also added a simple examples using the OSWindowGenericRenderer:

OSWindowGenericRendererDrawingExample new open.

=============================

I also modified the OSSDL2Driver >> #isSuitable method to not call the hasPlugin method. The plugin seems to be unnecessary according to several posts, and I am too lazy for fixing it. I guess that this should be eventually integrated into Pharo 5 after some reviewing. Before that, the latest version of OSWindow should be loaded manually. For that, the packages should be loaded in the following order:

OSWindow-Core
OSWindow-SDL2
OSWindow-SDL2-Examples

After that, the following doIt is required in a playground to start receiving events:

SDL2Constants initialize.
SDL_Event initialize

Best regards,

There is joystick support in 4.0, but not in Unix (plugin looks pretty empty).

Smalltalk vm listBuiltinModules select: [ :each | each beginsWith: 'Joystick' ].

JoystickTabletPlugin VMMaker-oscog-nice13154.314

So, it is all in the InputEventSensor

Check for senders of primReadJoystick:

--> joystickXY:, joystickButtons: ...

I couldn't find any direct way to use a joystick in Pharo, if someone knows
about one, I'd like to integrate it to my code.

Refers to a joystick plugin for squeak. I don't know if that is in the current distribution
(it doesn't seem to be), so you might ask on the vm-dev list about it. I haven't looked
at it, so it could be for a RS-232 based joystick instead of something more useful with
a modern pc.

Can't SDL2 be used with a joystick?
