Hi,

I'm happy to report that after one year of development, i have 2 betas out there. Wait and see.

In the mean time, i am still looking for improvement, especially on the input side.
It has come up a few times in conversations, but could i use some sort of game-controller-type-thing to work with a samsung tablet ?

A numeric keypad won't do.
Is there a recommended game controller model or series that works best?
I found this:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/generic-gamepad-support-source-code.53518/

But the topic does not seem to be very popular.
My main concerns are:
1) All the models are different and maybe have a short lifespan, so i might need a conversion table for many models?
2) The reaction time to a stick or button movement might be slow, ? I have no idea.

The setup being: the user moves something on the controller, it gets interpreted as a parameter value by B4A, and something changes on the tablet's display. (Not a game, but many parameters and +/- fast-moving)
?
thx,
Paul
