Serial port / USB support

by Brian Turner · in Torque Game Engine · 12/04/2002 (8:58 am) · 1 replies

Hi all,

I am looking for a cross platform 3d engine to write applications for some bio-feedback equipment that I have designed. I see where the Torque engine can receive input through keyboard, mouse and joystick. In my case I need to come in through the serial port (eventually USB). Does the SDK support this?

Probably not right out of the box (after all, most gamers don't play through their serial ports), but it ought to be trivial to add support for a serial port device. Once you hooked it into the existing input code, you'd be all set.

Of course, you could also write a driver for your device, and then it would be usable through the normal routes.

Force feedback is another thing where I don't think it's in the engine, but it's pretty quick to add, especially if you don't need it to be ultra robust and portable.
