# egpbc :video_game:

egpbc is named constants for Nintendo, Sony, and Xbox game console controllers for [Ebitengine](https://github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten). 

(And so, egpbc stands for Ebitengine GamePad Button Constants.)

# Why?

Because this is easier to visualize and use in development than using ebitengine's built-in gamepad constants, and it should be consistent 

regardless of what brand of controller you or your players use, as long as they're capable of being internally mapped to a standard gamepad 

device. In other words, this should mean that you can use Xbox constants while developing and the player should be able to use a PS5 controller

without issue.

# How to install

`go get github.com/solarlune/egpbc`

# How to use

Each brand is contained within its own struct.

```go

import "github.com/solarlune/egpbc"

func main() {

    // Each brand has its own constants struct that contains its button and axis 

    // constants and directions; this is done to make things easy to manage.

    xbox := egpbc.MicrosoftConstants

    if ebiten.IsStandardGamepadButtonPressed(0, xbox.A) {

        fmt.Println("The A Button was pressed.")

    }

    lsX := ebiten.StandardGamepadAxisValue(0, xbox.LeftStickX)

	lsY := ebiten.StandardGamepadAxisValue(0, xbox.LeftStickY)

    isLeftPressed := egpbc.AxisIsLeft(lsX)

    fmt.Println("left is pressed: ", isLeftPressed)

}

```

That's it.
