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!

The mappings are: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/doodles/gamepad/gamepad_diagram.png
Else, you can find mappings directly via the Gamepad Tester: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/doodles/gamepad/gamepad-tester/tester.html

Have fun!

When are you gonna make it compatible with other browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer?

I'll do Firefox when I get a chance: the API is a little bit different.

Also, please don't say the I word. This is a family friendly forum.

I ONLY SAID INTERNET EXPLORER!!!

Sorry, but…

Internet Explorer.

No, just….

No.

(harsh, maybe, but seriously, it's gonna be really difficult to get that working in a stable manner, because experimental API's and such. Perhaps when Microsoft start implementing new technologies, yeah, but I don't really see it happening )

Allow me to clarify:

This extension is a thin wrapper around the Gamepad API, hence why the blocks are rather low level and not well labeled, as per the spec. This is only implemented in two browsers to date: recent versions of Google Chrome and recent versions of Firefox.

To add to the confusion, they support slightly different version of the API, and to support both browsers would mean double the time, effort, and code (and Firefox implements it rather poorly compared to Chrome, mind you).

So, there is a good chance that I'll add FF support. Anything else besides that would be almost impossible to do.

Do I have permission to add this to ScratchExt, with credit where credit is due?
I'll clean up the blocks a little and make them seperate labled <button ? pressed?> etc.

Please?

Very nice!

Fork and make a pull request

This doesn't work in Firefox, yet the HTML5 tester works.

when green flag clicked
broadcast [SA-DS3-INIT v] and wait

Still waiting. ;-;

NOTE: Using a Sixaxis Dualshock 3 PS3 controller. Also using Firefox.

The API is significantly between Firefox and Google Chrome.. if my life wasn't so busy, maybe it'd be supported! haha. Sorry

Seriously, though.

when I receive [This Extention for IE v]
release [Half-Life 3 v]

Oh, and for implementation, Firefox has quite a bit of support. Ask the Tilt addon.

I am aware that Firefox supports gamepads.. but the gamepad API under Firefox is NOT the gamepad API under Google Chrome. Send a pull request if you'd like, but remember this was an afternoon project.

You can't deny that, when this extension is compatible with IE, Half-Life 3 will be released.

Can you do this on Chrome OS?

Please excuse my ignorance here, but will this work with a Wii U pro controller?

Probably not.

Nice. I liked it.
