Gamepad support?
Kornel Kisielewicz:
I was just telling that I'd do that, but currently I don't even have money for a PC -_-
Brewtal Legend:
anyone try using joy to key program? I can get all the buttons to work except for n,s,e,w. The diagonal directions work, but not the regular one.

Journey:
Have you tried changing doomRL's key bindings to keys that joy to key can emulate?
I haven't tried it, but maybe it'd work.
e.g. in doomrl map 'up' to the key 'a', then in joytokey map your gamepad's up to press the key 'a'.
Angle of Death:
It plays really clunky.
Brewtal Legend:
I saw this in a blog and it seems like an interesting way to handle movement on a gamepad
--- Quote ---Support for standard console-style controllers can add to the appeal and accessibility of a game. Initially I thought it wasn't possible to properly control a roguelike with a gamepad because it's hard to precisely move something in one of eight directions using just a d-pad (or analog stick.) You might press northeast, might press north, it depends on the construction of the particular USB gamepad you're using and how its d-pad switch rolls around. My solution is to use the d-pad to choose one of eight directions, but only cause a movement (or attack) when one of the face buttons is pressed. One benefit is that there is no "race condition" between the axes and the diagonals; instead you settle your thumb into place, and use the other thumb to press a face button to "confirm" some action in that direction. With visual feedback on the direction currently being pressed, it could work out to be a very reliable system of roguelike control.

Also a type of shift button to toggle button binds to fit all the needed functions into about 8 buttons. Of course some functions like save can still be bound to the keyboard.
