Note

You will need a browser which supports the Gamepad API:

How To Use

Put the following in your main.js init:

    Gamepad.mappings.one = [
        [ 'dpadUp', 'up' ],
        [ 'dpadDown', 'down' ],
        [ 'dpadLeft', 'left' ],
        [ 'dpadRight', 'right' ],
        [ 'leftStickX', 'left', 'right' ],
        [ 'leftStickY', 'up', 'down' ],
        [ 'faceButton0', 'action1' ],
        [ 'faceButton1', 'action2' ],
        [ 'faceButton2', 'action3' ],
        [ 'faceButton3', 'action4' ]
    ];

And the following in your main.js update loop:

    update: function()
    {
            Gamepad.handleInput();
            this.parent();
    }

###Impact++ Users

You have to include your mappings as above, however you should override your games handleInput instead of modifying the update loop:

    inputStart: function ()
    {
            this.parent();
            
            ig.input.bind(ig.KEY.X, 'jump');
            ig.input.bind(ig.KEY.C, 'tap');
            
            Gamepad.mappings.active = true;
    
    },
    
    inputEnd: function () 
    {
            this.parent();
            
            ig.input.unbind(ig.KEY.X, 'jump');
            ig.input.unbind(ig.KEY.C, 'tap');
            
            Gamepad.mappings.active = false;
    },
    
    handleInput: function () 
    {
            this.parent();
            Gamepad.handleInput();
    }
