InputHelper class used for a 4 player game with Xbox, Ouya and Keyboard support

[Jonatan Van Hove]

This is all of our controller logic we use in the game LAZA KNITEZ!!.

It's pretty rough, but it helped us a lot. Basically all of our controller logic is abstracted from the game thanks to InputHelper.hx.

It works on OUYA (Xbox, ps3, ouya controllers), Windows native (Xbox controllers and keyboard) and flash (keyboard).

Hope this helps anybody. I wouldn't use it verbatim, cause it's rough, but it's full of useful details. Feel free to contact me if you need anything clarified.

BTW, is Ouya worth investing in? (both dev and "un"dev wise) I saw some horrible reviews about the controller, Tegra 3, possible income, etc. It's like everyone doesn't seem to like the device...Can you share a little about your experience with the store and the device itself?

Hey Jonatan, thanks for sharing this!

I had a blast with my nephews last week playing Laza Knitez. We had to stop playing because we awoke everyone else in the house at 1 am because of our laughs...

I saw you have support for Xbox and Ouya in you manager but not for PS3. I played the game on Windows with PS3 controllers so I know they work. In your manager there's nothing related to PS3. Is it compatible with Ouya or Xbox mappings?

Did you have any major issues supporting multiple gamepads on desktop?
