#minor fix
Hey everyone! I'm excited to share the first devlog for Rhythm Rabbit Rampage, my musical twist on tower defense! 🐰🎶
This one's a small update, but a crucial one!
---
🛠️ Fixed crash when no controller is connected
Previously, launching the game without a controller plugged in caused an unexpected crash (oops!). Now, you'll get a friendly warning instead. No more engine freeze!
🎮 About controller support
Controller support relies heavily on the external library SFML GamepadSupport. At the moment, I can only guarantee that Xbox controllers work for sure. Tried it with a Switch Pro Controller? A generic USB pad? I'd love to hear what works (or doesn't) it really helps!
⌨️ Next step: keyboard support
I know not everyone has a controller lying around. I'm working on adding keyboard support so more people can try the game and see what rhythm-infused tower defense feels like.
Thanks for reading, and for your support and feedback!
