Component for the Crafty HTML5/JavaScript game engine for handling gamepad input devices (unmaintained)

The project is no longer maintained and is looking for a new maintainer!

Component for the Crafty HTML5/JavaScript game engine for handling input events of gamepad devices. Also contains a GamepadMultiway component for moving an entity with a gamepad.

Crafty.e('2D, DOM, Gamepad')
    .gamepad(0)
    .bind('GamepadKeyChange', function (e) {
        console.log('Button ' + e.button + ', Value ' + e.value);
    })
    .bind('GamepadAxisChange', function (e) {
        console.log('Axis ' + e.axis + ', Value ' + e.value);
    });

Crafty.e('2D, DOM, GamepadMultiway') // Entity can be controlled with gamepad
    .gamepadMultiway({
        speed: 100, // Speed is in px/sec
        gamepadIndex: 0
    });

The HTML5 Gamepad API is yet experimental and subject to change. Expect this code to break until the Gamepad API is stable. So far has only been tested with Google Chrome a Xbox 360 controller, a Playstation 3 controller and a Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Analog III.
