[comp.lang.c] Joysticks

jdb@reef.cis.ufl.edu (Brian K. W. Hook) (01/28/91)

I am trying to write a game that uses the joystick and was wondering if there
is a standard interface to the joystick in C that I can access?  Is their
a standard BIOS call I could do using int86()?  Is polling the BIOS too
slow for a highspeed game?

Any info would be appreciated,

Brian
