Q: Just wondering if <strong>Java</strong> has classes and methods supporting joysticks? Is<br />
there any sample code working with joysticks some where?<br />
Answer: Sure it does. It's part of the <strong>Java</strong> 3D API. There is an InputDevice interface.<br />
It is described as follows:<br />
"InputDevice is the interface through which <strong>Java</strong> 3D and <strong>Java</strong> 3D application<br />
programs communicate with a device driver. All input devices that <strong>Java</strong> 3D uses<br />
must implement the InputDevice interface and be registered with <strong>Java</strong> 3D via a call<br />
to PhysicalEnvironment.addInputDevice(InputDevice). An input device transfers<br />
information to the <strong>Java</strong> 3D implementation and <strong>Java</strong> 3D applications by writing<br />
transform information to sensors that the device driver has created and manages.<br />
The driver can update its sensor information each time the pollAndProcessInput<br />
method is called."<br />
The trick is finding a driver. :)<br />
