One of the reasons I re-discovered QB64 was your QB64 Game Programming Tutorial which I must say is an excellent resource for any QB64 programmer.
I know that you are working on updating the tutorial but wanted to check if you are going to add any game controller related stuff in "Task 9: Gathering Input".

I'll add that to the list of things to include. The only game controllers I have laying around are old-school (DB-15) ones that plug into the MIDI port of sound cards. The last time I tried using them with QB64 it didn't go well (we're talking back in the 0.945 days of QB64 though).
I'll see if I can find a cheap controller on Amazon to experiment with.
I have been adding commands that should have been included in the previous tutorial. If I can get a controller I'll see what I can come up with.

Speaking of the tutorial I'm still feverishly working on the updated version. I'm shooting to have it finished by the end of this month but I may miss that mark by a week or two. I recently learned that I need to redo the section on installing and configuring QB64 since qb64phoenix.com now redirects directly to the forum.
I just now finishing up Lesson 18, have 19 to complete and want to add another lesson on Building and Maintaining Custom Libraries. Later down the road I want to add another lesson on real-world physics. That's going to be a real challenge for me though as I truly stink at math.
