Hi there,

I am currently working on a 2 player game, which features joysticks. I am using SDL to get input,
and everything is working smoothly. But as far as I know, SDL does not support force feedback (rumble etc).
So my question is: Do I need an additional library to handle this, if so, which?
Please give detailed information, as I have little experience on the matter

I am on a Windows 7 computer, using C++.

Thanks!

As far as I know, Microsoft's DirectInput has support for almost any more or less standard input device, and I saw also force feedback in its API some years ago. Maybe DirectInput is an overkill for starters (as is most of DirectX with COM interfaces), but it is popular and I am sure, DirectInput has lots of tutorials.

Here you go:

especially "Using DirectInputEffect" part of code.

wow im glad in the 2000's they invented triple digit column width values for websites

Thank you so much! I'll look into that and see if I can understand and implement it.
