/// Put it before the main code

class BrainGamer {
    constructor(brainpad) {
        this.BrainPad = brainpad;
    }

    RockerX() {
        var x = this.BrainPad.Analog.Read(4);
        return x;
    }

    RockerY() {
        var y = this.BrainPad.Analog.Read(3);
        return y;
    }

    async Vibrator(enable) {
        await this.BrainPad.Digital.Write(8, !enable);
    }

    async ButtonUp() {
        return !await this.BrainPad.Digital.Read(14, this.BrainPad.Pin.PullUp);
    }

    async ButtonDown() {
        return !await this.BrainPad.Digital.Read(15, this.BrainPad.Pin.PullUp);
    }

    async ButtonLeft() {
        return !await this.BrainPad.Digital.Read(13, this.BrainPad.Pin.PullUp);
    }

    async ButtonRight() {
        return !await this.BrainPad.Digital.Read(16, this.BrainPad.Pin.PullUp);
    }
}

Using the BrainGamer is now done quickly.

var Gamer = new BrainGamer(BrainPad);
var x = await Gamer.RockerX();
var y = await Gamer.RockerY();
