padexec

Execute shell commands with your game controller (<70 LOC, based on SDL2).

Requirements

• git (to get the source code)
• SDL2
• very little C programming knowledge (you'll need to hack a C file :O!)

Usage

• Grab the source code: git clone https://github.com/Bytewerk/padexec.git
• Read padexec.c, it contains a full explanation on how this works and what you'll need to do
• ???
• PROFIT!

Example Session

Button 9 has been mapped to mpc toggle and gets pressed twice:

./padexec.x86_64 
To make any use of this program, you'll need to hack up the source for your needs.
