Joystick:isDown

Available since LÖVE 0.9.0
It has been moved from love.joystick.isDown.

Checks if a button on the Joystick is pressed.

LÖVE 0.9.0 had a bug which required the button indices passed to Joystick:isDown to be 0-based instead of 1-based, for example button 1 would be 0 for this function. It was fixed in 0.9.1.
