The default HTML export the PICO-8 produces does not support gamepad controls.
Both Chrome and Firefox now are able to handle them, so I created a small
script that rectifies that.

Tested with Xbox pads and Logitech F710 - should work with other gamepads as well.

## Usage

* Drop [pico8gamepad.js](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/krajzeg/pico8gamepad/master/pico8gamepad.js) in the same directory with your game's HTML and JS. 
* In your HTML file, add the following, right before the `<script ... src="yourgame.js">` tag:

```
  <script src="pico8gamepad.js"></script>
```

And you're done! :)

## Configuration

If you like, you can edit the configuration at the top of `pico8gamepad.js` to suit your needs (defaults should be fine most of the time):

* `supportedPlayers` - set to 1 if your game is single player to map all controllers to player #1. In general, set it to the number of
  players supported by your game.
* `mapXXX` - you can choose whether different types of buttons on the controller should be mapped to PICO-8's O and X
* `stickDeadzone` - controls how far you have to push an analog stick for it to register as a PICO-8 d-pad press.
