sulix / opentk-sdl2 Goto Github PK

I'll likely do this myself, but if someone wants to do this even sooner than me, here's the deal:

The joystick API for OpenTK is crap. To get any good mileage out of SDL2 we'd basically have to write our own API for OpenTK that revolves around us.

Oh, wait, we can do that! Because OpenTK has a GamePad driver in their Input module and it's totally unimplemented.

I say we just rip off SDL2's GameController API in there, then our SDL2 driver will map cleanly to it. It's also a hell of a lot nicer when we implement SDL2 controllers in MonoGame.

Here's the SDL2_GameController header, for reference:
http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/700f1b25f77f/include/SDL_gamecontroller.h

If it turns out GameController isn't as flexible as I want it to be (axis flipping is one I'm concerned about...) it would still work pretty well with SDL_joystick.

Using this DLLwith a bare-bones Monogame project, I find that it does fix the problem Monogame has with setting the PreferredBackBuffer_Width_. This doesn't work with the stock OpenTK.dll, but does work when you replace it with the SDL2 OpenTK DLL.

However, seting the PreferredBackBuffer_Height_.still has no effect.
