| | Joystick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A joystick is generally configured so that moving the stick left or right signals movement along the X axis, and moving it forward (up) or back (down) signals movement along the Y axis. | | | (Digital joysticks were very common as game controllers for the video game consoles, arcade machines, and home computers of the 1980s.) | | | More recently, analog joysticks have now become standard on video game consoles and have the ability to calculate the amount of distance that the stick has moved from neutral position. |

| | Space Invaders is an example of a game that uses two-way joysticks. | | | Obviously, this is not an ideal joystick to use. | | | They accomplish similar goals - not only being able to move the joystick up/down, left/right, but also to be able to twist/rotate the joystick for games that require it (such as Ikari Warrior). |

| | Make sure that the joystick is connected to the game port on the back of your computer, either into the built-in game port or into the game port on an internal sound card. | | | If more than one joystick or game device is listed, repeat these steps to remove all entries. | | | If the game adapter is shown as being detected and the drivers are reinstalled, but the joystick still does not work properly, check to make sure no other devices are trying to use the Input/Output (I/O) range that begins with 0201. |

| | Joystick Tutorial- Chapter 4 |
| | Most of the joystick functions described here have an optional parameter that allows you to specify which joystick the function is being called for; this is the first joystick by default, so it can be omitted for a game that is designed for the first joystick only. | | | But, if you wanted the user to be able to contiuously fire by holding down the trigger (which is what the player might expect), using the joystick time wouldn't work- the gun would only fire when the trigger was pulled the first time. | | | It's recommended that you use render events for the timing of your application, rather than input events, however- as an example, if you wanted to have the joystick trigger fire a gun, and use the gun's fire time to determine how soon the player could fire again, you could use joystick events for this. |

| | The game turned out to be very difficult to play with any other joystick, because my joystick had so little contact bounce that he didn't need to do any debouncing, but with normal joysticks, debouncing was very necessary. | | | My sister ended up taking the joystick to university some years later, and she and her friends played a lot of games on the Commodore 64. | | | To my surprise, the joystick survived undamaged (even without me being there to fix it), and was the joystick of choice among the people who played games on my sister's computer! |
