from talking about https://codeberg.org/sphi/tess-joust where each person gets a video game controller, but they seem like they're not really used for *control* in the traditional sense, they're more like proxy object that a person holds

@omar okay now I'm wondering what you could do with JS Joust if there were also fine finger movements required. The skill ceiling just got interesting.

@spiralganglion Yeah I was wondering if you could just use each person's phone (so you could do touchscreen input). Or some kind of one-hand chorded gadget. (Or both -- maybe you have a case that slips onto the phone that turns it into a chorded gadget, like the Wii remote steering wheel)

@omar are there any non-game PC apps that are designed for video game controllers? Like a drawing app or a block-based editor?

@avi @omar I've seen a people use controller input for soft synthesizers and VJ tools
