How to Use JoyToKey with a Gamepad in Glitch

Hi yall,

I should probably edit this first, but hahaha, I am already up too late on a worknight.  So, I've written a pretty comprehensive (and OOGLY) blog post about how to use the freeware JoyToKey to play Glitch with a gamepad (including mouse and mouse button directions!) here.  I know you can't test it out during downtime, but hey, maybe some nice person with time on their hands could go and try following the instructions and making sure they're sensible.  That way, when the game goes live again, hopefully nobody will be confused! ^^;

Tomorrow if I have time I may fix the formatting of the images and stuff.  I know it's a little jarring but I am lazy.

With love,
FvS!!

PS: To the Devs:  I'd like to note that using this setup, Glitch is nearly perfectly playable, aside from text entry.  There is one hitch that could be improved, however - if you could add a setting to disable the use of "Up" as "Enter", that would help.  I've trained myself out of this for the most part, but occasionally I will press slightly upward on the D-pad, which is a little annoying.

  • BUMP! 

    I did this, and it is amazing. I'm never going to play fully on the keyboard again unless I have to.

  • Yay, somebody else who's been doing this!  I do occasionally find myself having to put the controller down and click now and then (I'll get stuck cycling through garden plots or when I accidentally request info on, say, a chicken, and then have to click out), but for the most part, it feels like a really natural way to play the game.

  • You can map the escape key, too, kipple! I set it to "square" because that is familiar to me. Anyway, glad to see ppl enjoy it. It doesnt fully replace a keyboard if you wanna chat, but it really makes glitch playable on a netbook.
