Caveats

• If enabled at the client: avatar movements may be translated into GameControl input.
• There is room for 32 buttons [bits 0 through 31] however at most only 16 buttons can be simultaneously held down at any one time.
• There are always 6 axes values, even when the controller device has more or less
  • All axes elements will be in range [-1,1]
  • By default,
    • Left-tilting a thumbstick on GAME_CONTROL_AXIS_LEFTX or GAME_CONTROL_AXIS_RIGHTX yields a positive value, while right-tilting yields a negative value
    • Up-tilting a thumbstick on GAME_CONTROL_AXIS_LEFTY or GAME_CONTROL_AXIS_RIGHTY yields a positive value, while down-tilting yields a negative value
    • Pulling a trigger will increase the value of GAME_CONTROL_AXIS_TRIGGERLEFT or GAME_CONTROL_AXIS_TRIGGERRIGHT, while releasing will decrease the value
