Joystick enumeration
« on: September 26, 2011, 07:39:11 pm »
I was doing some tests with SFML2 and noticed my Xbox controller always appears as joystick #0. My Logitech controller always appears as joystick #2.

This is not a problem, I was just curious: how does joystick enumeration work? That is, what determines what joystick becomes joystick #0 and joystick #1?

Absolutely. If your OS has a control panel for joysticks, you should see the exact same setup.
