We have a game MEGAMAN that runs on PC. It has three kinds of
actions: "jump", "fire" and "move horizontally". All these three can be done
with keyboard. We tried to use joysticks to perform the actions. While
we succeeded with "jump" and "fire", we can not invoke the action of moving
horizontally with a joystick.

I am quite ignorant about games and PC programming in general. My
naive question is: Does it take some sophiscated programming on PC to
make this to work and what kind of programming that would be. It would
be nice, of course, if someone has already solved exactly the problem
for the exact game. But a general direction will also be helpful.


Thanks in advance.
