I am currently trying to program a simple pong game using pygame and thus far I have used pygame.KEYUP and pygame.KEYDOWN to control the game. I have a joystick that connects to the raspberry pi with GPIO pins and I am not sure how to program the game to use the joystick instead of the keyup and keydown controls. I cannot for the life of me figure out the imput commands to get the gpio pins to work with the joystick. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

what does that mean?
the easiest way is to use a play station controller connected by usb and pygame joystick.

post your coding attempt/ wiring diagram/ components used.

So thats the problem, I understand the concept of the pygame.joystick page but the joystick that I am attaching doesn't use a usb connection, but rather connects with GPIO pins. Here is an amazon link of what the product is:

Are you running this program on a pi or just using the pi to attach the joystick?

looks like it's an analog output so you'll need an A/D converter
