if you work on games or scientific tools that could benefit from unconventional input devices here's the code. Hook up GamePad, JoySticks, 3D mice etc. to your Mac and access it from Lisp. With a little help from Apple this worked out well. Make sure to point the framework path to wherever you put the .framework files. Load "frameworks.lisp" then "game-devices.lisp" Hookup some funky device and run the example. http://agentsheets.com/lisp/gameDevices.zip This is just an early version if you add code please share. It simple now to add more devices even multiple devices of the same kind, e.g., multiple game pad. Also, if you have especially great/terrible experiences with certain device please let me know. ps: the framework loader is somewhat clobbered together. I remember seeing some code but could only find the Gary Byers older framework functions. have fun Prof. Dr. Alexander Repenning vCard: http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~ralex/AlexanderRepenning.vcf
