Description Brady Eidson 2014-06-19 14:40:14 PDT 
As a pet project I've been working on getting the Gamepad API [1] working on Mac platforms.

In my spare time I hope to start landing patches towards that effort.

The very first thing I had to do is bring the existing Gamepad API code up to spec, as it's languished for over 3 years and doesn't resemble the current working draft.

Then I'll build on that adding a better platform abstraction layer that can support both WK1 and WK2, and include a preliminary Mac implementation.

I'll file individual bugs for individual patches, and this bug can be considered an umbrella.
