[Squeakland] game controllers?

[Bert Freudenberg]

You should be able to grab any USB game controller and plug into your  
Mac or Windows machine. Then get a Joystick object from the Supplies  
flap and choose "track real joystick" from its halo menu. You will  
only be able to read out the X and Y axis and the first two buttons.
