Maping a keyboard and a mouse on a gamepad, using GLFW, with an intuitive overlay to test an idea and learn more about gamepad inputs, OpenGL, C and GLSL.

This project replace this one, with a cleaner code, build, various gamepad support and more. Windows and Unix support is targetted, for now, only Windows is supported.

Disclaimer

The code is at it’s begining, so nothing fully functional yet, please wait and notice me if you are interested in it !

Curent level of prototyping :

Functionalities

• Write text using wheel (and others entries : ctrl, backspace, escape,…)

• Move, click and scroll mouse

Future Improvments

• Colorize when a keystroke is sent
• Show when special keys are pressed (ctrl, alt, shift, …)
• Add alt and other keys support
• Add middle click mouse support
• Moving colors overlay
• File for settings (colors, sizes, …)
• Add a way to customize the mapping from a file/overlay
• Create a way to add new functionalities (like a macro system)

Build & Depencies

You need glew, opengl, glfw and gdi.

Compiling on Windows (tested with MinGW-w64) :

make

Run :

./DeskController.exe
