I want to make a game with game controller support (for example, Xbox 1) but i don't know how. Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, you can't specifically use a Xbox controller, but I found a Scratch Wiki article on connecting to the physical world. Happy to help!

Thanks, I think I might be able to make something with this.

I can actually help you with that, but it's only a workaround.

Windows Vista and later:
Download AntiMicro
antimicro is a graphical program used to map keyboard keys and mouse controls to a gamepad. This program is useful for playing PC games using a gamepad that do not have any form of built-in gamepad support. However, you can use this program to control any desktop application with a gamepad; on Linux, this means that your system has to be running an X environment in order to run this program.

Windows XP:
Get a new OS.

Debian-based Linux distros, including Mint, Ubuntu, and SteamOS:
Download AntiMicro
antimicro also works with Linux. However, the GitHub page included a link to packages.libregeek.org specifically for Debian-based Linux distros, and as I'm not very well acquainted with Linux, I'm not sure what that means. If you use Linux, you can probably figure it out.

Mac OS X:
Download 360Controller
Purchase Joystick Mapper ($4.⁹⁹)
Joystick Mapper is an application for Mac OS X that lets you map keyboard keys, mouse axes, mouse buttons, and the mouse wheel to any Mac-compatible joystick or gamepad button/axis/hat.
Xbox One Controller is supported by installing the latest version of the Xbox 360 driver linked above.

You can use an Xbox controller on scratch games, unfortunately, you can only use the d-pads

D-Pads on Xbox One are working
but I need to map the buttons for the Xbox Controller

W key/Y on controller
D key/X on controller
A key/B on controller
SPACE key/A on controller
Q and E key/LB and RB on controller
Right click/LT on controller
Left click/RT on controller
Helpful?
