General chat about Amiga topics / Re: Octamed experts: can it be customized to be used via joystick?
« Last post by superfrog76 on May 09, 2024, 04:48:07 AM »Agree, that's why I was wondering how feasible it is to do an add-on in the app versus just add automation.
Problem is, I doubt that Intuition has anything remotely close to an automation API for remote clicking and simulating keyboard and mouse events, so getting the movements translated is mostly a lost cause without putting in a ton of efforts.
The amiga was not made for this purpose in the end, unless you write the interface from scratch to use just the joystick; it is understandable. And nobody would ever imagine that one day you would have the need to use a tracker via a joystick
