#11 closed enhancement (fixed)

Implement joystick support.

Milestone:	→ MS3: Input device and slot car track support

Available options:

the input part of the Lightweight Java Game Library (see Using the controllers) ==> Might cause unreasonable extra libraries that have to be included, because it's primarily an OpenGL library.
JXInput ==> Makes a good impression, but is Win32-only.
JavaJoystick on SF.net ==> Seems like the best option and the sample application was working for me out of the box. Supports Windows and Linux. The licence is nonstandard, however.
JoyStick for Java ==> Not evaluated. Apparently Win32-only.

New commit by hheimbuerger (revision [192]):
[Fix for ticket #11] Implemented game controller support.

Game controllers are now supported. They can be detected from the input device settings dialog (which isn't quite perfect yet).

Additionally, the TrackWidget now shows the current trigger state by changing the color of the gauges' rectangle.

Resolution:	→ fixed
Status:	accepted → closed

Milestone:	MS3: Input device and slot car track support → MS1: First usable version
