#Please note: Right now this is pretty hacked together, this was done very late at BC Bournemouth. Soon I'll be collecting this up, neatening up & releasing.
#Quick Start
The main file is gamepad.js. The rest is just stuff for the actual
talk. If you want to use a gamepad controller in your own talks, just
grab gamepad.js, and use index.html as a reference to set up your
own slide decks.
#Deck.js + Gamepad API
Following on from a Barcamp Bournemouth talk from @robhawkes and with a spare logitech gamepad available, I decided to take one of my favourite new things, Deck.js, a system for creating HTML presentations & mix it with some new cool stuff, such as the Gamepad API.
All this does is call Deck.js methods, so it's easy to customise if you fancy it.
##Notes
-
I ran this in a specific Firefox nightly build that has the Gamepad API enabled, which you can find here for Mac, Win & Linux. Again, hat-tip to @robhawkes for that one.
-
This has not been tested in any other browser than the FF nightly linked above
-
The basic code I started with is also @robhawkes's but I've since modified a lot of it. Credit is given in the comment of the file.
##Instructions
These instructions were written using a Logitech Gamepad. Buttons may differ with other controllers (an issue hopefully we can get rid of soon and standardise button layouts)
####Moving to Previous & Next Slides
- previous slide: left trigger
- next slide: right trigger
####Controlling the Cursor on the page
- DPad or left analog stick (depending on if "Mode" button is on)
- hide the cursor by pressing the right analog stick down
####Zooming In
- move up on the right analog stick to zoom in
- move down on the right analog stick to zoom out
