About¶ ↑

This library is a simple DSL for your apple remote. It uses the AppleRemote.framework for Objective-C (by Martin Kahr) and RubyCocoa to hook it all up. It seems pointless, but was fun to write.

Special Thanks¶ ↑

• www.rubycocoa.com/appleremote/1 for the idea

• Martin Kahr (www.martinkahr.com/source-code/) for the awesome AppleRemote framework

• RubyCocoa (rubycocoa.sourceforge.net/HomePage) for being awesome.

Installation¶ ↑

Once you’re up and running with RubyCocoa, compiling the framework is pretty trivial. Theres instructions in the lib/framework/src/README file

Examples¶ ↑

play do
  puts "I'm playing... (Playing? #{playing?})"
end

pause do
  puts "I'm paused... (Playing? #{playing?})"
end

menu do
  if playing?
    puts "Do something with the menu while we're in 'play' state"
  else
    puts "Do something with the menu while we're not in the 'play' state"
  end
end

up(:up) do
  puts "The volume-up key is down."
end

up(:down) do
  puts "The volume-up key is released."
end
