I downloaded the GamePad Template and ZombieShot programs associated with "Gamepads with Greenfoot", only to find that when I try to launch the ZombieShot game, I get this error:

My conclusion is that the code for the "Gamepads with Greenfoot" downloads is outdated. Can one of the Greenfoot team please update the gamepad projects?

I don't know if this is relevant, but the controller I'm using is a Joytech NEO.

Can someone please help me out? Even if you're not part of the Greenfoot team, could you download the GamePad Template project and update it please?

I'm not sure it needs updating. The window you posted shows that it doesn't specifically recognize Windows 7, but that it uses the "default windows plug-in" which I think should be ok. The real error is after that: "Failed to acquire device". To be honest I'm not sure what that means precisely; perhaps some other program that is running has already claimed the gamepad?

Thanks for the reply davmac :) As for other programs claiming the gamepad, I'm not sure about that, I'm not playing any other games with the gamepad plugged in at the time... There may be some hidden programs though, I guess. Does the gamepad code work with all USB controllers? Maybe mine is a little old. Well, I just got an Xbox gamepad, so I'll try the project with that and post my results.
