== Web Gamepad API (Draft Recommendation) ==

=== Abstract ===

The HTML5 specification introduces many of the necessary components for rich interactive and game development, from &lt;canvas&gt; and WebGL to &lt;audio&gt; and &lt;video&gt;.  At the same time, JavaScript implementations have matured to the point where they can now support many tasks which previously required native code.  The Web Gamepad API presents a new way for web and game developers, as well as interaction designers, to access and use gamepads and other controllers for games.

This API is currently in [https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gamepad/raw-file/default/gamepad.html Editor's Draft status at the W3C], and will be subject to change.
