NAME

       poll_joystick - Polls the joystick. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int poll_joystick();

DESCRIPTION

       The  joystick handler is not interrupt driven, so you need to call this
       function every now and again to  update  the  global  position  values.
       Example:

          do {
             /* Get joystick input */
             poll_joystick();

             /* Process input for the first joystick */
             if (joy[0].button[0].b)
                first_button_pressed();

             if (joy[0].button[1].b)
                second_button_pressed();
             ...
          } while(!done);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns  zero  on  success  or  a  negative  number on failure (usually
       because no joystick driver was installed).
