The Game Controller support is extremely limited. There are just two blocks added by this extension (to query the state of the device). Can we please get event-based blocks as well, eg:
When controller button ____ state changes
When controller <L / R> thumbstick moves
Bumping this up. To provide example here about why this is important, mBlock is guiding students to do things like this:
That’s burning threads just polling the state of valuators in a busy loop. The game controller API needs event blocks, so students don’t need to make their own using anti-patterns we should be discouraging.
Sadly, this forum isn’t actively viewed by makeblock and feature requests here won’t get much attention.
I’ve been told that the makeblock team has plans for creating a new forum in the ‘future’, but I don’t know when that is.
