It is possible to call Apple's iOS APIs directly in Lua if you use LuaJIT's FFI (you might want to get a helper library like this, though – or one that works well on iOS.)

tvOS has support for controllers, and most controllers are modeled after the 360 controller so the same controller APIs could still work.

Assuming the iOS version of SDL has controller support.

It doesn't (yet), mostly because I don't own a compatible controller to test with...

OMG thanks a lot!!! This is mostly what I was referring to. Time to cook something useful.

Do you know if something similar exists for Android as well?
