So how do you get along with the TBDI module?

Hi folks,

if you use the TBDI module, does it work good for you? What is missing for you? What could be enhanced?

It works great !

Just it would be nice to choose device somehow - I have often connected more than one ( just because I am lazy

)
Rest is perfect.

Thanks,
Petr

Ok, I'll try to make this happen.

That is a great suggestion Petr. Good luck with that Mike, it will be a great addition to a fine module that is very intuitive and works great!!

I looked at the sources yesterday. The changes won't be simple but I want to add support for more controllers at the same time. That means that I need to add an ID or something similar to each command but then I could image having two gamepads connected for a 1-1 soccer match or something similar. I hope I get it to work. I will start tonight.

Thanks a lot Mike,

it will be great!

Mike, the idea of using and ID sounds good. Was wondering... I have a joystick hooked up and a game pad, will there be a command to say here are your devices, select which to use, then assign the ID that way?

**ErosOlmi** · 14-08-2007, 00:36

More or less, yes Ken.
I suppose there will be a command that will return a list of all installed devices. You will be able to choose which one to use and its ID.
Than all subsequent TBDI commands will use that ID. More or less is like opening a file channel to read/write on it.

And, possibly, more than one device will be used at the same time allowing multi-user games.

OMG, I need to make thinBasic core even faster now ... !

When we get to multi-player it will mean things are really flying and far along. Amazing stuff what you guys are doing in cranking out more speed and giving us such an extensive command list!! Thanks.
