Formerly known as "JmeGamepad" and "Superior-Extended-Engine" or "SEE".

Demonstration of the library's capabilities.

How to implement it into your Android project :

Step 1. Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories :

	allprojects {
		repositories {
			...
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Step 2. Add the dependency :

	dependencies {
	        implementation 'com.github.Scrappers-glitch:Superior-Extended-Engine:1.x.x'
	}
