joy2key
This program gets events from the joystick device /dev/input/js0 and
dispatches X events or console keypresses to a specific window
based on joystick status. It is most useful for adding joystick
support to games that don't nativly support the joystick, using
joy2key to send XKeyPress (or console ioctl()) messages in place of
actually typing movement keys. This code is under the GNU Public
License (see COPYING), you can do whatever you want to it, and if
you do anything really neat, I'd like to see it!
- Peter Amstutz (tetron@interreality.org)
special thanks to Zhivago of EFNet's #c for helping me out
a LOT with the XSendEvent() code...
The latest version of joy2key can be found in
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/xutils
or on joy2key's (rather spartan) website,
http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~tetron/joy2key
Revision History
----------------
1.0 (12 Aug 1997) - First version.
1.1 (04 Dec 1997) - Thanks to Craig Lamparter
(craiger@hemna.rose.hp.com),
joy2key now has support for four-buttoned
joysticks/gamepads! Also some bugfixes.
1.2 (28 Apr 1998) - Pierre Juhen (pierre.juhen@wanadoo.fr)
fixed a dumb little bug and added the
autorepeat feature!
1.3 (04 Jun 1998) - Frederic Lepied (fred@sugix.frmug.org) added
option to call w/o the window title arg to
select target window interactivly
(gee, why didn't I do that in the first
place?) and detect when the window closed and
exit properly. Also now uses 1.0 joystick
module event-based handling instead of
polling (now _requires_ 1.0+ joystick driver,
which is available for v2.0+ Linux kernels),
and is able to send events to the console
with an ioctl() as well!
Lots of code cleanup and restructuring.
1.4 (17 Aug 1998) - .joy2keyrc implemented, this adds -rcfile and
-config. Bugfix for -dev command. Also
automatic calibration when no -thresh is found,
added -deadzone option.
1.5 (20 Jul 1999) - Patch by Jeremy (jeremy@xxedgexx.com) to look up
windows by their numeric ID when they cannot by
found by name; this makes it possible to use
joy2key with full-screen (DGA) X apps.
Joy2key also now uses autoconf/automake.
1.6 (10 Apr 2001) - Okay, after getting mail about it for
literally years, I've finally fixed the
bug parsing joy2keyrc files... ;-p
1.6.1 (27 Jan 2005) - Just a trivial update to fix the web page
and email addresses.
1.6.2 (22 Mar 2007) Rens (mraix@xs4all.nl)
- Fixed a bug, preventing joy2key from using your
highest numbered button.
- Made joy2key lower case / upper case - aware
by simulating actual keyboard behaviour: capital
A is generated like this:
key-shift-down, key-"a"-down, key-"a"-up, key-shift-up
Exactly as you would type it..... It sounds trivial,
but I found out that a lot of games
( Especially Windoze games running in Wine )
require exact simulation of the keyboard-presses
or there will be no joy(2key).
1.6.3 (12 Apr 2008) Peter Alfredsen (peter.alfredsen@gmail.com)
- Fix up a few compiler warnings.
- Once and for all fix configure.ac so it works.
- Merge Debian, OpenSuse and Gentoo patches.
