Public Methods

Return	Name	Description
const JoystickConfig &	getConfig const	Returns the component's current configuration.
const JoystickInfo &	getInfo const	Returns the component's current state.
const JoystickInfo &	getCachedInfo const	Returns the most recent state snapshot recorded by the emulator thread (see getInfo()).
void	trigger	Triggers a joystick action.
void	trigger	Sets the complete joystick state.

getConfig

const

const JoystickConfig & getConfig() const

Defined in VirtualC64.h:997

Returns the component's current configuration.

---

getInfo

const

const JoystickInfo & getInfo() const

Defined in VirtualC64.h:1008

Returns the component's current state.

getInfo() reads the live state on the calling thread. The result is only consistent if the emulator is paused or suspended. getCachedInfo() returns the snapshot the emulator thread has recorded most recently, which is the one to use while the emulator runs. Both return references that can be overwritten by a later call or by the emulator thread, so copy the data if you need to keep it.

getCachedInfo

const

const JoystickInfo & getCachedInfo() const

Defined in VirtualC64.h:1010

Returns the most recent state snapshot recorded by the emulator thread (see getInfo()).

---

trigger

void trigger(GamePadAction event)

Defined in VirtualC64.h:1014

Triggers a joystick action.

---

trigger

void trigger(const std::array< bool, 5 > & state, const std::array< bool, 5 > & previous)

Defined in VirtualC64.h:1026

Sets the complete joystick state.

The states are ordered up, down, left, right, fire. The directions are applied as given, which is harmless to repeat. The fire button is only forwarded if it differs in 'previous', because pressing it again would toggle autofire. Pass the state that was reported by the previous call.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
state	const std::array< bool, 5 > &	The new states of up, down, left, right, and fire.
previous	const std::array< bool, 5 > &	The previous states.
