Linux force feedback wheel support

[Jey]

Hello,

I am not a player of your game yet (but it won't last. Now that I know it, I will try it this week-end probably). But I heard about the fact you have been the first person to program Force Feedback in a Linux game.

And I have a question: do you use some interface library to easily access to the force feedback accessories? Or else do you interface directly with the driver? Or what?

If this does not exist, it would be a nice idea to create a separate generic API for force feedback interfacing. Thanks to such a thing, other programmers (lazy ones!!! And for other concurrent games! :p) would be able to simply access the force feedback material generically, with simple function (or class method) calls...
What? Noooo... it is not an appeal for you to make it! :p Me forcing you to work more?!

Anyway, great job. I will try the game, but I will have to ask my little brother to undig his force feedback wheel in his stuffs... ;-) I have a friend who has a force feedback joystick also.
