44 * In order to use these functions, SDL_Init() must have been called
45 * with the ::SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK flag. This causes SDL to scan the system
46 * for game controllers, and load appropriate drivers.
48 * If you would like to receive controller updates while the application
49 * is in the background, you should set the following hint before calling
50 * SDL_Init(): SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS

90 * if ( SDL_IsGameController(i) ) {
95 * Using the SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG hint or the SDL_GameControllerAddMapping you can add support for controllers SDL is unaware of or cause an existing controller to have a different binding. The format is:
98 * Where GUID is the string value from SDL_JoystickGetGUIDString(), name is the human readable string for the device and mappings are controller mappings to joystick ones.
99 * Under Windows there is a reserved GUID of "xinput" that covers any XInput devices.
100 * The mapping format for joystick is:
101 * bX - a joystick button, index X
102 * hX.Y - hat X with value Y
103 * aX - axis X of the joystick
104 * Buttons can be used as a controller axis and vice versa.
