Xbox Controller

Not present in this checkout. Documented here on the same assumption as Keyboard and iPhone IMU: reads a physical Xbox controller (via Linux evdev, the same approach the other two Go input nodes use) and publishes a [4][4]float64 delta transform, consistent with the rest of the input layer rather than a raw button/joystick struct. Unlike the other two, there's no code here to confirm this shape against — treat this page as the intended contract for whenever this node is written or ported in, not a description of running code.

Assumed shape​

pub.Publish([4][4]float64{...}) // same delta-transform convention as Keyboard/iPhone IMU

Left stick / right stick and triggers would map to translation and/or rotation deltas the same way W/A/S/D do for Keyboard — the exact axis mapping isn't decided, since there's no implementation to derive it from yet.

What this would need​

  • spine.CreateNode/spine.NewPublisher[[4][4]float64], same as the other two input nodes (see spine-go) — not the old pre-redesign JointNamespace API, since there's no legacy version of this node to port from.
  • A conversion step from raw controller state (buttons, joysticks, triggers) to a delta transform, analogous to iPhone IMU's CreateDelta.
