A C++ object-oriented library for accessing XBox 360 controllers on Windows
RapaXInput (formerly Xiol) is a C++ library that provides access to XBox 360 controllers on Windows.
It uses the Microsoft XInput API.
RapaXInput is object-oriented: the physical controllers are represented and manipulated through objects and their methods (rather than global functions and structs).
RapaXInput offers the traditional "polling" approach. You can explicitely:
- enumerate the controllers currently connected to the system,
- inspect the state of each controller and its components (buttons, triggers, thumbsticks, etc...)
On top of that, RapaXInput proposes an event-driven approach: the client code receives notifications whenever something happens. For example:
- a controller is being connected/disconnected,
- the state of a components changes
RapaXInput transparently supports versions 9.0.1, 1.3 and 1.4 the XInput API. It can be compiled as a 32-bit or 64-bit library.
RapaXInput comes with a couple of examples including a GUI test application
