This is the Blitz3D Library I wrote (as part of my re-release project) for adding near complete XBox 360 controller support. 

It's free for anyone to use with no limitations whatsoever. I may publish this to the Blitz research site later.

 

;XBox 360 controller library for Blitz3D by Earok (Earok.Net)

;I declare this code to be in the public domain

 

 

;This library provides complete XBox 360 controller support except for the following limitations:

;1. No force feedback support

;2. Left and Right triggers cancel each other out. Holding them both down is the same as holding neither down.

;3. No support for the center glowing button

 

;Constants defining every XBox 360 button, just pass these to the standard joyhit, joydown functions etc.

Const x360_button_a = 1

Const x360_button_b = 2

Const x360_button_x = 3

Const x360_button_y = 4

Const x360_button_lb = 5

Const x360_button_rb = 6

Const x360_button_back = 7

Const x360_button_start = 8

Const x360_button_lts = 9

Const x360_button_rts = 10

;This trims out small values from not quite centered analogue sticks and triggers.  You don't need to call this from your game. 

;Alter trim value to adjust the "dead zone" from the stick/trigger center.
