[Proposal] Introducing Ikemen Sense – a modern fork focused on controller support, UI/UX & accessibility

[Unk404j]

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a fork of Ikemen GO called Ikemen Sense, focused on experimenting with modern controller support, UI/UX improvements, and accessibility features.

I’m still learning Go and SDL2, but I wanted to share my progress and keep the community updated — in case others are interested in testing or collaborating.

🎯 Goals

• 🎮 Controller support

  • Xbox / PlayStation detection
  • Display modern button prompts instead of generic "Joy 1, Joy 2..."
  • Preconfigured mappings, SDL2 rumble, and full gamepad navigation

• 🖥️ Modern UI/UX concepts
  Gamepad icons, responsive menus, smoother transitions

• 🧪 Lua-based rumble hooks
  For hits, supers, menu interactions

• ⚙️ Accessibility (planned)
  Key remapping, colorblind filters, scalable UI

• 🚀 Future-ready ideas
  Android/WebGL builds, plugin system

Gamepad Vibration Implementation & Usage (SDL2 Rumble)

🔧 Goal

Implement gamepad vibration support via SDL2 (go-sdl2) in Ikemen GO, exposed in Lua through a function f_rumble(player, intensity, duration).

---

To-Do

• go-sdl2 integrated into go.mod (in some builds)
• Rumble() function properly coded in input.go or a dedicated file
• Lua exposure in script.go: f_rumble(p, strength, time)
• Clean integration into Config.Input.Rumble
• Feature testable from main.lua, menu.lua, fight.lua, etc.
• Can be used by M.U.G.E.N / Ikemen character creators

---

🧩 Patch: Add SDL2 + Extra Dependencies to go.mod

This patch introduces SDL2 support (go-sdl2), updates golang.org/x/text and adds gopkg.in/ini.v1 as direct dependencies.

To apply manually:

+	github.com/veandco/go-sdl2 v0.4.10

_{This post will be updated as the feature progresses.}
