buzz.

I wrote some stuff to abstract the controller; now buzzbuzz will guide you through figuring out which joysticks are which. And I'm playing with some behavior for when you make the wasps scatter.

So if you have a gamepad and a Mac, or you have a gamepad and Windows and the will to grab the demo of Blitzmax and compile it, enjoy some wasps and let me know if flying them around is a basically entertaining experience. I'm still debating with the thought of switching to a different language, as Blitz just keeps tripping me up...

Even for playing Robotron-type games? (Smash TV, Geometry Wars, Llamatron and probably any game called "Somethingtron") The one time I tried to play Robotron using the keyboard, my brain locked up and I started making weird gibbering noises until I stopped!

I'll put in keyboard control of some kind eventually (probably some variety of keyboard+mouse), but the game's definitely being designed around two joysticks.
