Analog Joystick

This games is pehaps the only one on Amstrad GX4000/Plus range to enable the use of an Analog Joystick, for the 2nd player.

• Player 1 can use Digital Joystick #1
• Player 2 can use Digital Joystick #2, or alternately, Analog Joystick #1
• [uhhhh... that can't be correct since digital-stick1 and analog-stick1 use the same fire button...?]

The game converts the analog inputs to digital-joystick-style "on/off" signals, so it isn't actually supporting "fast/slow" analog inputs.

The keyboard is read to determine the state of the digital joysticks and the P button (pause button on gx4000 console).

The routine reads analogue input channel 0 and 1 for the analogue joystick and performs some checking to see the range of the numbers. Based on this it sets the direction pressed.
