v1.0.0
e4ab3bb

Play PC games, including a full run through Doom, by waving a Żabka bottle cap around.

TRIKI Control pairs with the TRIKI Bluetooth motion cap and turns your wrist into a keyboard. Twist to turn, tilt to walk, tap to fire, flip to run, slide to open doors.

Download

  • Windows: grab TRIKI-Control.exe below. No install, just run. (SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher; it is an unsigned hobby build, so choose More info then Run anyway.)
  • macOS / Linux: build from source. See the README.

Why it steers like a tank

The cap has a gyroscope and accelerometer but no magnetometer, so a round cap cannot know which way it is pointing. Directional movement is physically impossible on this hardware, which is the same reason the cap's official games each use a single axis of motion. Every control here is built from heading-free signals instead (twist=turn, tilt=go, tap=fire, flip=run, slide=use). The full story: docs/how-it-works.md.

See the CHANGELOG for everything in 1.0.0.
