Linux & xbox controller

[daedeloth]

Hi,

Awesome project! Saves me a lot of time.
I've got it working on windows, but the mapping in chrome / linux with my xbox 360 controller is wrong.

I've been looking at the code for a way to override the mapping for linux, but am I right in saying that currently there is no filter for platform? mac / windows / linux?

Many thanks,
Thijs

You are correct in that assumption, this library is OS agnostic in nature

Currently the OS is not taken into account. But the code to determine the gamepad mapping could easily support it:
Gamepad.prototype._resolveMapping() uses an env object which could have an additional os member for example (resolving the value would be a dedicated topic).
A gamepad mapping could then also specify an os member, which acts as an additional filter matching only if its value is also found in that reference env.

But I so far have not found out whether the unification of button layouts for the same controller across OS and browsers must happen in JS-user land, in the browser or possibly in the OS.

From what I understand, it is meant to be somewhat generalized.
But any implementation of the gamepad api I've seen had my mapping mixed up.

I also don't think I have a way to fix it in ubuntu.

It's also hard to find people with similar issues, since not that many people have ubuntu & an xbox controller laying around.

I think I'll have a go at that added os member.
