This use every position, which includes diagonal.
I called it square limit because the older joysticks like the Atari joystick have a square range. But the current ones like those used on ps2 controller, xbox, or anything else that uses a joystick, has a round limit. These I think need to use sine and cosine to get there full range of movement. I'll do some tests to confirm if that's true or not, later.
Atari joystick:
The one I posted earlier is the one I am currently using, and it works for diagonal positions too. The only difference is that the first one uses the map function, whereas this one is straight forward using IF ELSE to take the difference of X and Y positions to go a certain direction.
The first one I posted is neater but a little more confusing, compared to this "simpler" code that breaks it all down. Not as nice but not as confusing.
