Re: [pygame] No data from joystick

["Thiago Chaves" <shundread@xxxxxxxxx>]

Before you get state-changing values such as get_button(n),
get_axis(n) or get_hat(n), you should get (or clear) joystick events
from the queue, otherwise those values are not updated.

Also, if holding a button down doesn't make a difference in your
program, I'd reccomend that you check button presses through the event
queue instead.

Anyway, once again, order is

joystick.init()
...
MAIN LOOP BEGIN
e = event.get(X)
joystick.get_button(0)
joystick.get_axis(0)
joystick.get_hat(0)
...
MAIN LOOP END
