Number of gamepads

[mr1jan]

Hi, I want to make a game controlled by more than two gamepads. I found in SFML documentation that argument JoyId in bool IsJoystickButtonDown(..) can be set only to 0 or 1. Does this mean that SFML can only handle two gamepads? If yes, is there any other way to handle for example 4 independent gamepads? I will run it on Linux.

Yes, SFML can only handle up to two joysticks. This is mainly because some OSes don't provide easy access to more controllers.

But I guess this can be worked around, and I can look into this in the future.
