<p>The JInput Project hosts an implementation of an API for game controller
|
|
|
|
|
discovery and polled input. It is part of a suite of open-source technologies
|
2003-06-07 21:21:04 +02:00
|
|
|
initiated by the Game Technology Group at Sun Microsystems with intention of
|
|
|
|
|
making the development of high performance games in Java a reality.</p>
|
2003-07-31 00:14:32 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>The API itself is pure Java and presents a platform-neutral
|
2003-06-07 21:21:04 +02:00
|
|
|
completely portable model of controller discovery and polling.
|
|
|
|
|
It can handle arbitrary controllers and returns both human and
|
|
|
|
|
machine understandable descriptions of the inputs available.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The implementation hosted here also includes plug-ins to allow
|
|
|
|
|
the API to adapt to various specific platforms. These plug-ins
|
|
|
|
|
often contain a native code portion to interface to the host system.
