dance-a-mole

Dance the moles back into their holes instead of whacking them.

Installation

Download and unzip a version of the game from the Releases.

Running

You need to connect the dance mat before starting the game.

Run dance-a-mole.exe (in the directory where you unzipped the game).

If you have multiple joysticks attached, the first joystick is automatically selected, and assumed to be the dance mat.

If the first joystick does not correspond to your dance mat, list the available joysticks with the following command in the command prompt:

dance-a-mole.exe --list_joysticks

You will see the names and unique IDs (GUIDs) of your joysticks. Select the joystick that you wish by providing its GUI. For example:

dance-a-mole.exe -joystick 03000000790000001100000000000000

Which dance mat to use?

We used an unbranded dance mat which you can order, say, from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/OSTENT-Non-Slip-Dancing-Dance-Compatible-PC/dp/B00FJ2KT8M

Please let us know by creating an issue if you tested the game with other mats!
