Games To Play With An Xbox Controller On A Mac

Posted on  by 

The Mozilla MozVR team was demonstrating the open WebVR standard as well as A-Frame at GDC a few weeks ago and people were intrigued; some were surprised the web could handle VR, some probably just thought our VR line was smaller (it was by miles), and others saw the Xbox controller next the VR headsets and wanted to know how Microsoft Xbox controller + VR + Mac + browser even worked. I was so excited about all of this that I jumped on it immediately upon return from GDC. Let's see how it all works!

Step One: Xbox Controller Driver (360Controller)

The 360Controller project provides a list of Mac driver releases for the Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. The latest (0.15.0) is required for Xbox One support. Download and install the package provided and you'll see a 'Xbox 360 Controllers' label and icon in your System Preferences app. This preferences pane provides information about the Xbox controller selected and also provides controls for overriding settings:

You must connect your Xbox controller via USB for the Mac to detect the controller -- wireless wont work. Press the buttons and watch each button's representation in the app light up. You can even press the left and right trigger buttons and the Xbox controller will shake. Solid!

Feb 22, 2015  The only reason I’m only giving it 3 stars is the game locked up after I completed a large number of missions and wouldn’t run (it just gave me a white screen with a loading message.) Neither restarting the app nor the phone worked and there was no update available. X-Plane is also the only flight sim for Mac that’s compatible with flight yokes, rudder pedals and cockpit flight switch panels. Check out our guide the best flight controls for Mac as to really get the best out of X-Plane and enjoy a more authentic flying experience, they really add another dimension to the simulator. X-Plane 10 X-Plane is without peer on the Mac. Calling X-Plane a game isn't just wrong, but it's insulting: X-Plane is the definitive flight simulator for the platform. Intricately detailed, it's also incredibly scalable - X-Plane runs on mobile, oz77n home Macs and PCs, and also operates as a detailed professional-grade aviation simulator.

Step Two: Gamepad API

Jan 13, 2020  Gaming on the Mac isn't as big as on PC, but there's still some great games out there for Apple computers. In some cases you'll be OK using a keyboard and mouse, but for a lot of people, kicking back and using a controller is the way to game. If that sounds like you and you're looking for a good controller, look no further. Here's what to get.

The JavaScript GamePad API provides access to controllers within the browser. Start by calling `navigator.getGamepads()` to get a listing of gamepads plugged in:

The user may plug in a device during gameplay (or any time for that matter) so you can use two handy event listeners to detect connection and disconnection:

A GamePad object provides the following information:

Hot wheels world race game download mac.

The buttons property is interesting: an array of GamepadButton objects, each having a boolean pressed values describing if the button is currently being pressed. You're were probably hoping (like I did) that there would be an event listener for button presses but there isn't -- you have to do button press checks within your game's loop (requestAnimationFrame). It's likely done that way so that lag, latency, etc. don't cause havoc between a listener and game state. Here's a quick example:

You can see more button press and reaction examples on MDN. You can also check out HTML5 Gamepad Tester to experiment with button pressing and axis state for any given controller.
