I don't know why people keep talking about GFA BASIC 2.0 as if it couldn't use the joystick. Here's how to access the port: spoke &hfffc02,&h14 ; turn off mouse while whatever loop a = peek(&hfffc02) print a ; a returns the value of the joystick port. ; experiment to find the exact values. . . code . spoke &hfffc02,&h8 ; restore the mouse before exiting program. That's it!
