I''m wondering how to play audio in SDL and how to use Gamepads? Could anyone explain and/or provide an example?
Joysticks:

SDL_Joystick *InitJoy(){ int nb_joy; SDL_Joystick *joy; nb_joy = SDL_NumJoysticks(); // return the number of joysticks available if(nb_joy > 0) joy = SDL_JoystickOpen(0); // open first joystick if(!joy) { printf("Error: unable to open joystick"); return NULL } SDL_JoystickEventState(SDL_ENABLE); // enable joystick to send events return joy;} if want to know more, go to the sdl website in the section Doc Project

I Don''t know about gamepads but I suggest using SDL_mixer for sound in SDL apps. It handles all the mixing so you don;t have to.

I''ve looked at the sdl site but their "help" is too complex for me.. I don''t get it.
Could someone post an example? Oh and about gamepads, thanx lemurion that''s great! But what about actually detecting if someone is pressing a button on the gamepad? How do I do that?

And what about gamepads that support rumble and force feedback? How would you get the gamepad to shake using SDL?

As mentioned in the documentation, force feedback is not yet supporte. Perhaps it will be in SDL 2.0 . The docs also have many code snippets that help you understand the API.
