LameControl

Use the LameStation's joystick and buttons.

ctrl : "LameControl"

The LameStation has six hardware controls for user input.

About

Before you can use them, you must call ctrl.Start once at the beginning of your program. This tells the Propeller to listen to the controls.

To read the current state of the controls, call ctrl.Update. A good place to do this is at the beginning of your main game loop, but it can be called at any time. If this is never called, button functions will always return false.

PUB Main
    repeat
        ctrl.Update

After calling ctrl.Update, you can call any of the button or joystick commands to get their state. The values returned will not update until ctrl.Update is called again.

if ctrl.Up
    ' jump really high
if ctrl.A or ctrl.B
    ' do something
