XNA Example - Controller Pointer
Sunday, July 15 2007 - gse, xna, tutorial
When developing the Mouse Component I new that it was only going to be for the Windows System, but as time goes by I new that I would need a simular system that would work on the Xbox 360. So what I have come up with is the following small example, I will be building on this and trying to make it better.
"This is a small example that allows you to use the controller as a pointer in the same way you would a Mouse. The Controller Pointer has been set up as a Drawable Game Component that will draw the pointer and react to the actions of the controller. This example will allow you to move the pointer with the left thumbstick, and have the pointer change color in resonce to the Buttons pressed on the Controller."

Thanks for the kind words, I do plan on adding some more functions to it so if you think of any suggestions please pass them on.
On the main page of the site (www.virtualrealm.com.au) I do have a Donate button that is linked to my paypal account. :)
This is an awesome little component! I was just about to craft my own when I saw yours. How convenient! Do you have a paypal account? I'll send you $10US, buy a couple pints or something!
Thanks again!
