Reply to how to maximize gamepad buttons !!

hello,

i had a problem with glovepie, you can see the developments here

with help, i was able to solve the problem but realised that the hat-switch code only has 4 directions, so the diagonals where not working, for example instead of up/left directions there is up and left directions press simultaneously.

so there is a need to have more code to cancel individual directions when both directions are pressed.

so i've realize that in glovepie there is the possibility of controlling button combinations, this can be very useful by itself, for combos, shift keys, etc...

but there is also the possibility of expanding the number of buttons of a gamepad.

a ps2 usb type gamepad will have +/- 12 buttons and 4 directions

there is a big number of possible combinations for just this buttons

there is also the possibility of using a button matrix, for instance, in my project i have 30 buttons and two gamepads, with a matrix i could have only one gamepad, because i would only need 11 contacts

maybe i will work on my layout so i can have extra encoders...

that's it

:-)
