Testhaptic - Periodic effects require direction to be set

SDL Development
1

Hi,
On testing SDL2 with Linux and the it’s new ffmemless-next code I noticed
that the periodic effect requires that the direction is set when it is
uploaded. Testhaptic code does not do this, and as a result produces no
movement for Sine/SawUp/etc.

Attached is a corrected version of testhaptic, which also adds tests for
additional effects.

Tested with G27 and WiiWheel, with SDL 2.0.3 on Linux 3.15rc3 + MLNX.

Also it appears the the ‘SQUARE’ effect is no longer supported (replaced
by LEFT_RIGHT). The documentation should probably be updated.

Cheers,
Simon.

I tested it, and it produces a Segmentation Fault.
Fix it by changing:
SDL_HapticEffect efx[8];
int id[8];
to:
SDL_HapticEffect efx[9];
int id[9];
