Very nice proof of concept so far! I think this will make me go and give excalibur.js a try now!

The only real issue I had is that the Y to interact for gamepad did not work for me. If you want more info or testing just let me know.

Thanks for checking. I developed using a xbox controller so that might be the issue. Which controller do you use?

It is an 8bitdo brand controller that uses XInput so not sure why it wouldnt work. If I remember I will try it again tomorrow or Sunday after my computer has been restarted.

The buttons are mapped to different integer values. I mapped the xbox one, but i'd have to map different controllers and switch the values based on the controller identified. Your controller maybe works but with other buttons, instead of the Y for interact and A for select.

I tried all the buttons on it and none of them worked for interact.

Interesting. I'll look into that at some point.

(on Linux, Vivaldi; in Firefox and Vivaldi-Incognito it works) - I guess it’s something on my side, tried deactivating extensions too

I’m getting a

I just installed Vivaldi on Linux Mint, enabled, ads/trackers block, and the game runs without issues. If you can figure out how to reproduce the issue i can try to fix it.
