I'm trying to get better at coding games, mostly for fun. I started with a very simple game for my handheld build and now moving up.
Gyruss is one of my favorites so I thought I'd try to recreate that next - but controlled with a joystick OR spinner.
I don't have a spinner (yet). Would anyone be willing to test my very early code with their controls and see how it works? Download link below.

Otherwise it defaults to standard arrow controls. And adjust sensitivity to your liking, somewhere between 0.0 and 2.0 is probably good. If Windows warns you about running, I can assure you this is not a virus.
Controls5 = coin
Ctrl = Start and Shoot
Left/Right = Movement, unless spinner is turned on
Esc = Quit
F12 = Toggle fullscreen
I've only been able to test with my mouse so far, so real world info would be fantastic. And I won't be able to do my physical build with a spinner until this summer.
This is purely a learning endeavor, I don't ever plan on releasing or selling this. The real Gyruss will always be better than anything I can make.
