Developments



I finally got back to some coding, yesterday.

I've solved "most" of the problems with the Android controls, (as in, they at least work a bit!!) but am once again left with the curious controller issue on my Archos Gamepad.
For some weird reason, the dpad/buttons are being sent to my game as "Controller Device 1", whilst the two analogue sticks are being sent as "Controller Device 2".
I had this issue before, and managed to fix it.. The worrying thing is, the way I managed to fix it has since been depreciated in later Android SDKs.
So, um..
*shrugs*

I spent most of last night trying out various different things, trying to find the replacement, but nothing seems obvious.
I might have to rule out having my games work with the Gamepad. Or at the very least, do a bit of mashing up of controller inputs to allow all controllers to work together as a single unit...?

Not sure if that's a good idea, though.
It certainly doesn't help the Multiplayer issues.

Hmm.. :

Daily Doodle : Transmission Issues




Platdude should've known better than to place the transmitter at ground level. At the very least, he should've got rid of all those trees.

Misc..
