Hi!

I just received a wired Xbox 360 Controller for Christmas, for use with computers and other devices.

I was crawling around this here internet, and I was wondering:

Is there a Scratch Mod that allows use of, and has additional blocks for, an Xbox 360 Controller?

For example: blocks like

Does anyone know where I can find one? Thanks!

(bump)

Again, does not exist from what I can see, someone might do it, but I doubt it - a lot of people that did have the experience to carry out such a mod have left over the last 3 years.

Seems like a potential neat addition to Scratch. I'll look into writing an extension for this

Okay, perhaps there IS interest for such an extension xD

Wow! That's amazing! Thank you!

Import that as an experimental extension (look around the forums), and it will give you a get axis and get button on _any_ supported controller. You'll need a recent version of Google Chrome, though (since like 22). Once imported, it should show up in more blocks with a yellow circle. Press any button (although in practice, only some will work), and it will turn green. At this point, you're done!

Have fun!

How does one import a JSON extension? I can only seem to import html ones using the Offline Editor.

Go into the web console and paste the code for the extension

I hope they put this in

Awesome extension by the way bobbybee! (I've added it to the directory) Unfortunately I am not in possession of an Xbox 360 USB connector or wireless gaming receiver

I just got one for Christmas. I've been asking since October!

I've had 4 wireless ones the whole time, but never one of those receiver thingies.

I just got a cheap, wired controller for PC gaming.

Well, have a PS3 one? Generic no name brand one?
It's standard Gamepad API; any PS3-like controller should work.

Explore is thinking of having Compatible devices like that but its not going to be soon

If you're fine with a 1.4 mod, yes, there is.

This actually connects to a kinect, not an Xbox 360 Controller, still very cool though!
