Repo for testing GameMakerStudio 2 input (keyboard, mouse, and gamepad). I wanted to see what gamepads work best with GameMakerStudio2 and how to interact with them.



Note: You probably would not use this code for moving objects in your programs.



This has been tested on:

  • mac(from GameMakerStudio2)

  • windows10 (from GameMakerStudio2)

  • mac (using the HTML5 option). Tip: "Package as Loose Files", choose empty directory then you can test by using python webserver (python v2 "python2.7 -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000" or v3 "python -m http.server 8000" then open up [http://127.0.0.1:8000]() in browser.) Gamepad inputs will not work. Mouse and keyboard inputs do work as expected.

  • iOS mac/simulator - left click works, right click does not; double click seems to work like a right click; keys initially did not work as the keyboard is not active; but I enabled the virtual keyboard (via a VK button) and it works now

  • Ubuntu 18.04 - keyboard and mouse work as expected (have not tested gamepad)
    


    TODO:

  • Add virtual joysticks

  • Simple text input

  • Figure out how to get virtual keyboard to show on virtual iOS devices (works on real iOS device)

  • Figure out why game_restart(); does not work on iOS real device
