Add joystick support?

[lurkio]

Is there any way to add joystick support to Thrust? If it’s a question of space, there’s some demo-mode code that could be overwritten, I guess.

I’m thinking that a joypad (gamepad) might be nice to use with Thrust — e.g. a SEGA Master System controller, which, I’ve found, generally works quite well with a Beeb, via an adapter — where Up on the D-pad would map to the thrust action (which is currently activated by pressing Shift).

Possibly a bit fiddly to use a joystick/gamepad with a game like Thrust, which demands such fine control, but it might be fun!

No idea how feasible any of this is, though..?!
