Controller support

The game supports basics joysticks (2 axis, 4 buttons). This support can be adopted in order to play the game with almost any DirectInput controller. If you want to use more than 4 buttons on a controller - use the DOSBox Mapper to bind the remaining buttons to keys on a keyboard. If you experience a problem with a ship turning in one direction - see Ship turns in one direction when joystick is enabled.
