Re: Joystick problem

Hi Uwe,

the code snippet looks ok; however you /could/ do it differently to work 
around the problem, by using a proper event-loop, with SDL_PollEvent(). 
Then you could save a "not initialized" flag per axis and only use the 
axis once you received a SDL_JOYAXISMOTION event for it.
Those events will always have real values, and not an "I don't have a 
value yet so you get 0".
(No idea why debug vs release builds behave differently here)

Cheers,
Daniel
