the game library SDL (not pov sdl) http://www.libsdl.org/index.php is really
easy to program with. It would definately be possible to read joystick
input, and then write the coordinates to a text file. well, i better back up

joystick up to try it. libSDL is cross platform and easier to use than
DirectX (imo)
