Switch Pro Controller support + video of making Dig Dog without hands!
Switch Pro Controller + More
Dig Dog now uses SDL 2.0.9, the latest version. This allowed me to add proper support for the Switch Pro Controller! And Rumble now works with the Switch Pro and PS4 controllers.
There’s a lot more controllers supported too, thanks to the latest gamecontrollerdbtxt file. In fact, Dig Dog now supports 255 different game controllers!
This is timely, because I’ve just launched Dig Dog on the Nintendo Switch today! If you’re into games on Switch, check it out here.
Look, no hands!
I’ve made a new video to promote the Switch launch. It introduces the game, talks about the new features, and shows how I made Dig Dog without using hands!

The code in Dig Dog was all written by voice using a made up vocabulary. It’s a weird thing to explain, so I’m happy to finally have a video that properly demonstrates this process.
Although the video is targeted toward new Switch players, all the features mentioned are now in the Steam version too. Enjoy!
