A javascript utility for polling the state of the joypads/gamepads.

For any given frame of your game loop, you can poll if a button was pressed using Joyp.wasJustPressed(gamepadIndex, buttonKey):

if(Joyp.wasJustPressed(0, "left-trigger")) {
    player.shootGun()
}

For the button key, you can use either a standard button code or a human-readable button name, pictured here:

You can also poll the axes of the stick using Joy.getAxis(gamepadIndex, axisKey):

position.x += Joy.getAxis(0, "left-stick-x")
position.y += Joy.getAxis(0, "left-stick-y")
