BetterPad: An easy-to-use wrapper over GamePadShift
gingershaped opened this issue · comments
GamePadShift is an essential component of some Adafruit boards (read: PyGamer), but is not very... beginner-friendly. BetterPad aims to fix that. It's a small wrapper over GamePadShift that makes it far easier to use. It provides one class, BetterPad. This class takes the same parameters as a GamePadShift class, and has one function: getPressed. This function returns a dictionary in this format: {"a": True, "b": False, ...} where the value of each key corresponds to the state of the button it represents. You can also pass a dictionary as the buttons parameter to the constructor, for different gamepads. See the attached file for the source.
