JoyConnected ( [port] )

Parameters

port (optional) - stable controller slot, 0..15; 0 by default.

Description

Returns 1 while a controller occupies this slot, or 0 otherwise. Recheck during play to support hot-plugging. Other occupied slots keep their numbers when a device disconnects. A new connection uses the lowest empty slot.

Supported on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and web, subject to device and platform capabilities. Input requires application focus; device presence and names remain queryable in the background.
