Plugin to use a generic Controller with Anki

Goal: Use a Controller with anki to Review Cards with ease

Compatibility

• Any Controller with this generic Layout should work
• So far, The DualShock 4 has been confirmed to work. XBox Controllers and Other Dualshocks should also be compatible. If any other controllers work, please create an issue so that I can add it to the compatibility list.
• This Program has been tested with Linux & Windows 10, but the Windows exe should also be compatible with Windows 11. Mac OSX should work if you build it yourself.
• Note, only XBox Controllers work on windows out of the box due to Microsoft being inconsistent with APIs. You need to find a way to convert DirectInput events to XInput events.
• For a Dualshock 4 or 5, installing DS4Windows and having DS4Windows.exe open while running anki_controllers will suffice.
