I want a joystick for making video games. so I think midi really would be the easiest. So how hard is it really to get a ps4 or xbox or switch to send midi to pd vanilla. The korg nanopad2 has a xy grid on the left I can use for a analog stick and buttons on the right. it plugs in without drivers and works . Id like playstation or switch or xbox thing to do that as well. Im not really into extra programs to add to the setup Im looking for simple midi.
thanks so maybe something the same shape of a commercial joystick.

you could just skip the line object and use a triangle / slope formula.

use very short delay. then you just get the last bang

I would take the output number of the slider box - (which is skipping because of the mouse system, the mouse location system probably.) - take the slider output and then use line between the output values to make extra values.

you might end up with list columns. it isnt one list really. its multiple lists at the same time. then you maybe use numbers and read numbers from the list and they trigger commands.

if you draw a picture or something it might be easier to get suggestions.

the korg one has a bunch of music for the stock samples

you need to write an explaination so theyll know what your want to do really.

you could repack them into a 4-pack if you put the first two and then the second two hit the trigger and make the pack go off. then re-unpack them.
