Remote Pad

MQTT client running a vue SPA that is supposed to send commands as if it were the keyboard to a MQTT Broker remote-pad-server.

The ideia is to create a virtual gamepad for example for a race game, like Top Gear or Mario Kart 64, send commands to the server that will proper execute the keyboard keys: left and right, A, B, etc.

Race Pad page example

In the example the Y axis of the accelerometer is used as the input for left and right. And the buttons are use to send the equivalent keys of a emulator input keys.

Directional Pad

Good for games like SNES Bomberman, N64 Mario Tennis.
