    I have just implemented that the game prints the controllers name if unknown type - you may download the new version and test again, letting me know what it says, thank you! (Version is still 1.26; uploaded the new File there).

    Cheers, Don Polettone

    thanks a lot again for testing josmiley! Actually I did not plan to support a controller like this and it's not so easy to map the buttons if I don't own it myself, but I tried to fix it and it MIGHT work... feel free to download again and give it a try. Please post what IDLE says about it now since I've included some new print statements about the controllers, thank you!

    Hi josmiley! Thanks a lot for posting that bug. Can you please tell what sort of Gamepad you are trying to use? That might help me fixing this issue... thanks again!

    Doesn't work with Xbox 360 for Windows controller.

    Hey Solipsist Physicist. I am truly sorry you couldn't play the game using an Xbox 360 pad. I will try to get such a controller and make the game work with it, too. Yet I don't know when this is gonna happen though; haven't been programming for some time now... But this is a great comment and very helpful, thank you! I'll be fixing that, promised.
