/* Joysticks are low-level interfaces: there's something with a bunch of
buttons, axes and hats, in no understood order or position. This is
a flexible interface, but you'll need to build some sort of configuration
UI to let people tell you what button, etc, does what. On top of this
interface, SDL offers the "gamepad" API, which works with lots of devices,
and knows how to map arbitrary buttons and such to look like an
Xbox/PlayStation/etc gamepad. This is easier, and better, for many games,
but isn't necessarily a good fit for complex apps and hardware. A flight
simulator, a realistic racing game, etc, might want the joystick interface
instead of gamepads. */
