Convert game stick inputs to d-pad inputs

A game stick, or a joy stick, is one type of game controller that looks like this:

     __
    (  )
     ||
     ||
 ___|""|__.._
/____________\
\____________/~~~

I built a demo page to show how to map the inputs from the stick to up, down, left , right signals.

It refreshed my memory on vector math a little bit, which was fun.

Basically, a cross product can be utilized to determine which side one vector lies with respect to another vector.

I pretty much learned how to draw a page like this from watching following Youtube channels.
