Apparently, Chrome and Firefox have native gamepad support built in. There's an interesting article about it online here:

In related news, I've got gamepad support working in the engine.

I've been giving tablet support some thought, though I've de-prioritized it. It should actually run on a modern tablet or phone since they have fully HTML5-capable web browsers, but it requires keyboard input since designing a touch interface is a whole new can of worms and I don't want to compromise the usability of the keyboard/gamepad based control scheme to support touch screens.

I think the smart choice would be to wait until I'm done the whole game and then port it to mobile devices afterwards.
