Help with Slither.io Controller Support?

[Beeeyeee]

Hey guys I've been playing a ton of Slither.io, its like Agar.io where you use the mouse cursor to move your snake around. The PRoblem is I want to play with a controller. the Thumbstick would control a ton better.

 

I was digging around on the web and I found this: https://strbeanjoe.wordpress.com/2016/04/20/slither-io-ps4-controller-support/

This adds support for the PS4 controller. could one of you make it work with the Xbox One controller? where left stick is movement and A is boost?

The program Gopher is a very simple way to do this. Can't speak for xbox one controller, but if it worked right away for a 360 controller I can't see why it wouldn't. You can download it here: https://github.com/Tylemagne/Gopher360/releases/tag/v0.985. Was automatically setup with 'A' as the LMB, so it should do what you want out of the box.

thanks man! it does work with the Xbox One Controller seemlessly and it works pretty well! the issue is, since I have multiple monitors, as soon as as the mouse leaves the single monitor it glitches out. It will work for now but I want to find a solution that can only move the mouse in some sort of radious form the center you know? thank you for that suggestion though!

Hmm, odd... don't remember having much issue with my second monitor active. But yeah, I had the same thought as you. If you could somehow setup a circle with a limited range for it to get the input from it would be leaps and bounds better. Think the biggest issue with this solution is that the farther the mouse gets from your head, the harder it becomes to control. So, as you said, a predefined 'circle' could make this method almost as good as a mouse IMHO.

 

Edit: Also, let me know if you have any other ideas for alternate methods of control. I've been messing around with as many as I can think of, so I'm running out of ideas. Made a reddit post here that details most of them.

I tried using a joystick and I couldn't configure it to work with any method i could find.. I wish I had a PS4 controller to try that script out. if someone could figure a way to make that work well with xbox controllers.. I'll keep this thread updated.

Hmm... JoyToKey may be your solution to getting a joystick working. On another note, I found a program on github that does exactly what we described. That is, takes over the mouse and controls it with a circular range. But... it was made for agario. If you happen to have much experience with C# it could be a quick couple of changes to map a button for boost though.

Just wrote a script with AHK. Let me know what you think!

 

Controls:

• Ctrl + Alt + S to toggle on and off.
• Hold A to boost.
• Bumpers zoom in and out.

 

Also make sure you open it up (use a text editor) and change xWin and yWin to your monitor resolution!

I don't have much experience coding, how do I get this script to run?

 

Update: After some googling, I found that I just needed to download the AHK program and run it!

I started messing with this for an xbox360 controller and added a few features. 

 

ctrl+alt+s starts it. 

 

Start is the enter key to get back into the game once you die, select will hide your cursor.

 

change the x,y to your screen resolution.
