Hi I'm trying to make a game in java that gives users the option to a joystick or gamepad to control movement. So I found something called "JInput" that is suppose to make it easy to detect all connected game controllers. The problem is that when I run it in Eclipse I get the following error: "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jinput-dx8 in java.library.path".
My code is the following:
import net.java.games.input.*;
public class ListControllers
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("JInput version: " + Version.getVersion());
ControllerEnvironment ce =
ControllerEnvironment.getDefaultEnvironment();
Controller[] cs = ce.getControllers();
if (cs.length == 0) {
System.out.println("No controllers found");
System.exit(0);
}
// print the name and type for each controller
for (int i = 0; i < cs.length; i++)
System.out.println(i + ". " +
cs[i].getName() + ", " + cs[i].getType() );
} // end of main()
} // end of ListControllers class
I'm currently developing in Windows 7 environment. Any help would be really appreciated.
