Flash can use Game Pads natively now: GameInput API AS3

Posted by BoMToons - May 30th, 2014


If you've been following me you know that I've been implementing the new AS3 GameInput API in Super Chibi Knight. I promised I'd make an intro tutorial about getting started with the API, and I finally did, here!

http://pestoforce.com/as3_gameinput.php

You can download a source .fla from that page if you need a FULL example.


Here's the latest Super Chibi Knight Draw Time episode (Psychadelic Rave at 1:50):
 


If you pledged to the SCK Kickstarter at $85 or lower, you should have received your physical rewards by now, higher pledgers will be getting theirs soonish due to a delay in getting the keychains manufactured.

Here are some pics people have posted when they've received their stuff:

I'm gonna plug my friends' Language Learning interactive game/book here again. Please check it out and spread the word if you know anyone who's trying to learn another language. Oh, and leave them a review with your thoughts on their game. THANKS!

Leave me a comment if you have any Qs about game pads and Flash or the GameInput API, I tried to make it as simple and clear as possible with a good example, but it can still be tough to wrap your head around since it works quite differently from keyboard inputs.

I NEED that t-shirt!

:-O

Totally!

Awesome, I have been waiting on the tutorial. Thanks for helping out us nerds. Wish I had money at the time to support your Kickstarter cause that shirt is awesome.

My pleasure, I wrote it mostly for you! ;-)

Woah this is awesome! :D

Hype Joy!

Damn man, every time I see your stuff I'm impressed. It's crazy that you do both, drawing and programming on that high level. I tip my hat off to you, sir!

Thanks man, you're my hero, so it means a lot! ;-)

Whoa, gamepads in flash. NICE!

It is!

Thanks dude!

I'll use this in my new flash game, and I might update one of my old games to use this.

Good on ya! My pleasure!
