What's the situation like when it comes to gamepad support in the Rust ecosystem?

I know Linux basically provides an interface to pretty much a lot of controllers and gamepads, will you be making direct calls to those interfaces or looking for a more abstracted/convenient wrapper?

I have no idea honestly. I think Bevy has gamepad support built-in, but I haven't looked into it yet.

Interesting, is it cross-platform?

It is. I have done builds to both Linux and Windows, and one should in theory be able to build to WebAssembly and mobile (don't quote me on that, but I think it has Android support at least) as well.

Wonderful, I'm a controller guy myself.
