Joystick in E-Prime 1.x

[David McFarlane]

Tobias,

Matt Lenhart from PST answered this question in a thread here on the 
Google Group back in Sep 2008, if you search using the term 
"joystick" then you will find it (and I am adding that excellent 
thread to my own FAQ file).  But here is a very brief synopsis:

- EP1 can use only joystick buttons, not position, and then only via 
the parallel or game ports (i.e., the same way that all versions of 
EP can use arbitrary switch closures -- see also the thread at 
http://groups.google.com/group/e-prime/browse_thread/thread/c30e82d362d9f276 
).  (Although, if I recall the operation of the game port, EP1 could 
still get joystick position through a game port if you added 
sufficient inline code.)

- The base edition of EP2 will handle both buttons and postion of 
ordinary joysticks, but requires extensive inline code.

- The Pro edition of EP2 makes more of the joystick functionality 
available directly through the E-Studio GUI.
