Hi all, As a pet project I’ve been pecking away at supporting the Gamepad API on Mac. You can follow along in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134076.
The first glaring thing I noticed is how out of date the current code is. The Gamepad code currently in the tree has gone over 3 years without any real development. In the meantime the working draft for the Gamepad API [1] is much different than what’s in our tree. Also at least 1 other engine (Mozilla) has shipped support matching the newer API. I plan to completely break what’s currently in the tree in a non-backwards compatible way. Grep’ing the tree I conclude that this is okay because: - Only EFL and GTK have Gamepad support code - The code only supports in-process WebKit1 - GTK has it disabled - EFL has it enabled, but has also committed to dropping WK1 support If I am wrong and somebody has a compelling reason to keep supporting the version of the API that exists in the tree today, please contact me here or in the bugzilla. *SOON*. Thanks! ~Brady [1] - http://www.w3.org/TR/gamepad/
