old QB Defender game - anyone want to try to bring this up to speed?

Another thing to fix I realized is the test for the presence of a joystick needs to come inside the menu loop, at the top. That way you can plug a controller in without having to restart the program.

for now it is not possible because the _device keyword is in development.

See this post about it _devices in development

I'll give a look - so is _devices currently broken in QB64PE?
If it's just something they will fix in an upcoming release, we can just develop with an older version where it was working, or QB64 2.0.2?

Anyway, I've been meaning to get back to this, just been busy. I will check all those links and post some updates when I get more time.

Cheers!
