Using USB controller

Does C2 support USB controllers? (ie: classic NES, etc) If so, what are some good resources to teach how to implement them into the game control behaviors?

I have awesome buffalo SNES USB controllers which are good for 2D games, but Chrome doesn't recognize them so I can't use them (it only supports popular things generic xbox controllers etc.)

Just use the gamepad extension.

XBox 360 controllers should work with the Gamepad object.

So when the time comes that I implement a USB controller for my game, don't test using Chrome? I assume IE and FF browsers are okay?

Thank you for the info. :)

Thank you, Ashley. Is there a running list of which USB controllers (by brand or console type) that work beside the XBox 360?

XBox 360 controllers should work with the Gamepad object.

in the future we will implement the vibration?

the xbox 360 gamepad works great, just missing the vibration to make it complete!

thank you very much

Ashley, do you know if we can add more controllers to Chrome's gamepad API?

It depends entirely on the browser, and the supported controllers may be different between other browsers too.

Ashley - Is there a quick-list of what USB controllers C2 supports and on which browsers?

It's not to do with what C2 supports, it's only to do with what each browser supports. I'm not sure what the exact support is which is why we just recommend the XBox 360 controller which we know to work. You could try looking up documentation for individual browsers.

There's a few devices listed here and I suppose they should work, if they work with gamepad.js. http://www.gamepadjs.com/

Do people still buy non-console controllers? Anyone I know just uses a PS3 or 360 controller.

Ashley - Ah, I see. That'll have to wait until later. Documentation is one thing I know I don't know a thing about... But thank you, at least that filters out some of the confusion for when I'm ready to implement controller schemes.
