it didn't work for me (kept asking me to go slower, even when not moving the sticks (using ps4 controller w/ ds4windows)) but i love this idea so very much ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐

Stuff you did not do in February
Anything I did before Feb 1 to prepare ended up not mattering, lmao
The only asset I used apart from fonts is a button glyph set by Xelu.

yeah, i just based that line on whether the detected period (time between peaks and valleys) of the stick's movement is much lower or higher than the sweet spot, but... when there's no detected reciprocal movement at all, that value is set to 0, and the game currently is not accounting for that. so that's a pretty silly oversight that i'm just gonna blame on the tight dev timeframe i ended up with and which i'm intending to fix if that's allowable within the jam's rules
never thought i would feel these things towards my game controller yet here we are. expanding on this idea with a dualsense or steering wheel or anything with force feedback would go absolutely wild and i dunno how to feel about the fact that i'm having these ideas
now i can't help but think again about the god damn rez trance vibrator. they were really onto something huh
dualsense was the original target pad! part of what i allude to in "stuff you did before february" was exploring how the haptics and adaptive triggers work and looking into code examples of people interfacing with them in SDL. (The haptics are really just the two rear channels of the pad's speaker, or at least that's how they're exposed.) the first input surface i got responding to movement in the doomed SDL project was the touchpad. but well, of course, all that didn't work out.
ooh, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the idea of teasing your own joystick. Unfortunately mine is always telling me to go slower no matter what I do, but that kind of weirdness is to be expected when it comes to using external hardware
