[comp.sys.amiga.tech] How do you read the joystick values in "C"

young@wglen.UUCP (Randy Young) (07/10/90)

Hello:

I am about to start working on another game for the Amiga.  This game will
need to use the joysticks.  I will need to write some code to read the
values of the joystick for the directions of up, down, left, right, and the
botton on the joysticks.  I would also like to make the game a 4 player game,
so I would like to also know how to hook up 2 extra joysticks to the
parallel port (I thought I had heard some talk on this just a while ago).

This code should be in C for a start, eventualy it may be converted to
assembly (but not by me).  I use Lattice 5.0 newest version.

I hope somebody out there who has done work with the joysticks could help
me out.

Thanks (alot) in advance
Randy Young
